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

Brucella ssp. is a facultative intracellular pathogen that causes brucellosis, a worldwide zoonosis that affects a wide range of mammals including humans. A critical step for the establishment of a successful Brucella infection is its ability to survive within macrophages. To further understand the mechanisms that Brucella utilizes to adapt to an intracellular lifestyle, a differential proteomic study was performed for the identification of intracellular modulated proteins. Our results demonstrated that at 48 hours post-infection Brucella adjusts its metabolism in order to survive intracellularly by modulating central carbon metabolism. Remarkably, low iron concentration is likely the dominant trigger for reprogramming the protein expression profile. Up-regulation of proteins dedicated to reduce the concentration of reactive oxygen species, protein chaperones that prevent misfolding of proteins, and proteases that degrade toxic protein aggregates, suggest that Brucella protects itself from damage likely due to oxidative burst. This proteomic analysis of B. abortus provides novel insights into the mechanisms utilized by Brucella to establish an intracellular persistent infection and will aid in the development of new control strategies and novel targets for antimicrobial therapy.
