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

Pathogenic and commensal Gram-negative bacteria produce and release outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which present several surface antigens and play an important role for bacterial pathogenesis. OMVs also modulate the host immune system, which makes them attractive as vaccine candidates. At the cellular level, OMVs are internalized by macrophages and deliver lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the host cytosol, thus activating the caspase-11 non-canonical inflammasome. Here, we show that OMV-induced inflammasome activation requires TLR4-TRIF signaling, the production of type I interferons, and the action of guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs), both in macrophages and
