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

Rv1057 is the only β-propeller protein in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but its biological function is still unclear. In this study, we generated a deletion mutant of Rv1057 (D1057) in the virulent M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv and examined the characteristics of the mutant in vitro and in macrophages. We found that deletion of Rv1057 reduces secretion of the major virulence factor ESAT-6 and ESAT-6 stops in the cell envelope fraction during secretion, although ESAT-6 levels were similar in lysates of the mutant and control strains. In infected macrophages, Rv1057 deletion significantly reduced the secretion levels of cytokines IL-1β, IL-10, TNF-α, and INF-γ, but did not affect IL-4 and IL-8. D1057-infected macrophages also release less LDH and produce more nitric oxide (NO) than H37Rv- and D1057com (Rv1057 complemented strain of D1057com)-infected macrophages, indicating that D1057 has the decreased cytotoxicity compared to H37Rv or D1057com. In addition, the capacity of the Rv1057 deletion mutant to grow in macrophages was significantly lower than that of H37Rv and D1057com. Our findings support a role for Rv1057 in ESAT-6 secretion and in modulating the interactions between M. tuberculosis and macrophages.
