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

Most bacterial pathogens enter and exit eukaryotic cells during their journey through the vertebrate host. In order to endure inside a eukaryotic cell, bacterial invaders commonly employ bacterial secretion systems to inject host cells with virulence factors that co-opt the host's membrane trafficking systems and thereby establish specialised pathogen-containing vacuoles (PVs) as intracellular niches permissive for microbial growth and survival. To defend against these microbial adversaries hiding inside PVs, host organisms including humans evolved an elaborate cell-intrinsic armoury of antimicrobial weapons that include noxious gases, antimicrobial peptides, degradative enzymes, and pore-forming proteins. This impressive defence machinery needs to be accurately delivered to PVs, in order to fight off vacuole-dwelling pathogens. Here, I discuss recent evidence that the presence of bacterial secretion systems at PVs and the associated destabilisation of PV membranes attract such antimicrobial delivery systems consisting of sugar-binding galectins as well as dynamin-like guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs). I will review recent advances in our understanding of intracellular immune recognition of PVs by galectins and GBPs, discuss how galectins and GBPs control host defence, and highlight important avenues of future research in this exciting area of cell-autonomous immunity.
