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

objectiveThe intestine is the major defensive barrier in the body by having more than 60% of the immune cells in the intestinal mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Toll like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways and immune response profiles, against outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli.

resultsOur results demonstrated that despite inducing inflammatory and regulatory responses to OMVs released by both strains, there is a remarkable difference in the nature and severity of these responses between the two strains. Following the production and release of OMV by the pathogenic strain, the expressions of the pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly elevated, in comparison to the non-pathogenic strains. Eventually, our findings suggest that OMV released by the pathogen strain might be colonized, causing inflammation, eliminating the tight junctions of epithelial cells and damaging underlying cells, without the presence of IL-17 at the inflammation site. This could have happened to prevent the development of more severe inflammation, which could lead to the inhibition of colonization. The production of IL-10 is also preventing such inflammations. On the other hand, OMV released by non-pathogenic E. coli appears to influence intestinal homeostasis by causing more anti-inflammatory responses and mild inflammation.
