1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Staphylococcus xylosus is a commensal bacterium found on the skin and mucosal surfaces of SPF mice. S. xylosus is rarely pathogenic, most often causing skin lesions and dermatitis in immunocompromised mice, particularly those with impaired NADPH oxidase function. Here we report spontaneous infection with S. xylosus in Rag1-/-Tpl2-/- mice. Infection was characterized by the presence of alopecia, crusts, and scaly skin. S. xylosus was detected in the feces, skin, lymph nodes, and lungs of Rag1-/-Tpl2-/- mice and led to mortality or euthanasia due to humane endpoints. C57BL/6 mice were culture-positive for S. xylosus on the skin, and Rag1-/- and Tpl2-/- mice were culture-positive on the skin and occasionally in the feces. However, S. xylosus did not cause clinical symptoms in C57BL/6, Rag1-/-, or Tpl2-/- mice. Compared with those in Rag1-/- mice, relative concentrations of circulating monocytes, but not neutrophils or lymphocytes, were increased in Rag1-/-Tpl2-/- mice, consistent with their increased incidence of clinical symptoms. Overall, this case study suggests a novel role for Tpl2 in T-cell-independent host resistance to the otherwise commensal organism S. xylosus.
