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

Staphylococcus aureus and related species are highly adapted to their hosts and have evolved numerous strategies to evade the immune system. S. aureus shows resistance to killing following uptake into the phagosome, which suggests that the bacterium evades intracellular killing mechanisms used by neutrophils. We recently discovered an S. aureus protein (SPIN for Staphylococcal Peroxidase INhibitor) that binds to and inhibits myeloperoxidase (MPO), a major player in the oxidative defense of neutrophils. To allow for comparative studies between multiple SPIN sequences, we identified a panel of homologs from species closely related to S. aureus. Characterization of these proteins revealed that SPIN molecules from S. agnetis, S. delphini, S. schleiferi, and S. intermedius all bind human MPO with nanomolar affinities, and that those from S. delphini, S. schleiferi, and S. intermedius inhibit human MPO in a dose-dependent manner. A 2.4 Å resolution co-crystal structure of SPIN-delphini bound to recombinant human MPO allowed us to identify conserved structural features of SPIN proteins, and to propose sequence-dependent physical explanations for why SPIN-aureus binds human MPO with higher affinity than SPIN-delphini. Together, these studies expand our understanding of MPO binding and inhibition by a recently identified component of the staphylococcal innate immune evasion arsenal.
