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

Salmonella enterica serovar (S.) Typhi is an extraintestinal pathogen that evolved from Salmonella serovars causing gastrointestinal disease. Compared with non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars, the genomes of typhoidal serovars contain various loss-of-function mutations. However, the contribution of these genetic differences to this shift in pathogen ecology remains unknown. We show that the ydiQRSTD operon, which is deleted in S. Typhi, enables S. Typhimurium to utilize microbiota-derived butyrate during gastrointestinal disease. Unexpectedly, genetic ablation of butyrate utilization reduces S. Typhimurium epithelial invasion and attenuates intestinal inflammation. Deletion of ydiD renders S. Typhimurium sensitive to butyrate-mediated repression of invasion gene expression. Combined with the gain of virulence-associated (Vi) capsular polysaccharide and loss of very-long O-antigen chains, two features characteristic of S. Typhi, genetic ablation of butyrate utilization abrogates S. Typhimurium-induced intestinal inflammation. Thus, the transition from a gastrointestinal to an extraintestinal pathogen involved discrete genetic changes, providing insights into pathogen evolution and emergence.
