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

backgroundStaphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) causes a wide range of infectious diseases in human and animals. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains demands novel strategies for prophylactic vaccine development. In this study, live attenuated S. enterica subsp. enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) vaccine against S. aureus infection was developed, in which Salmonella Pathogenesis Island-1 Type 3 Secretion System (SPI-1 T3SS) was employed to deliver SaEsxA and SaEsxB, two of ESAT-6-like (Early Secreted Antigenic Target-6) virulence factors of S. aureus.

methodsAntigens SaEsxA and SaEsxB were fused with the N-terminal secretion and translocation domain of SPI-1 effector SipA. And cytosolic delivery of Staphylococcal antigens into macrophages was examined by western blot. BALB/c mice were orally immunized with S. Typhimurium-SaEsxA and S. Typhimurium-SaEsxB vaccines. Antigen-specific humoral and Th1/Th17 immune responses were examined by ELISA and ELISPOT assays 7-9 days after the 2nd booster. For ELISPOT assays, the statistical significance was determined by Student's t test. The vaccine efficacy was evaluated by lethal challenge with two S. aureus clinical isolates Newman strain and USA 300 strain. Statistical significance was determined by Log rank (Mantel-Cox) analysis. And a P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

resultsOral administration of S. Typhimurium-SaEsxA and S. Typhimurium-SaEsxB vaccines induced antigen-specific humoral and Th1/Th17 immune responses, which increased the survival rate for vaccinated mice when challenged with S. aureus strains.

conclusionsThe newly developed S. Typhimurium-based vaccines delivering SaEsxA and SaEsxB by SPI-1 T3SS could confer protection against S. aureus infection. This study provides evidence that translocation of foreign antigens via Salmonella SPI-1 T3SS into the cytosol of antigen presenting cells (APCs) could induce potent immune responses against pathogens.
