Escherichia Coli Outer Membrane Vesicles Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks in Intestinal Epithelial Caco-2 Cells.
Article in Medical science monitor basic research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that Escherichia coli induced digestive tract diseases may be related to outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) induced intestinal double-strand breaks (DSBs) in intestinal epithelial cells. This study aimed to compare the impact of OMVs forces on DSBs in intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells, and provide a new treatment for digestive diseases caused by E. coli. MATERIAL AND METHODS E.coli OMVs were prepared and co-cultured with Caco-2 cells. The uptake of OMVs by Caco-2 cells was observed by confocal microscopy. The γ-H2AX protein was detected by western-blots. The DSBs caused by OMVs was detected by single cell gel electrophoresis. RESULTS The particle size analyzer showed that the average diameters of OMVs centrifuged at 20 000×g and 50 000×g were 217.5±7.29 nm and 186.3±6.59 nm (P<0.05), respectively. Transmission electron microscopy of the OMVs revealed a lipid bilayer structure with a variety of different sizes. Confocal fluorescence microscopy revealed that OMVs almost completely entered Caco-2 cells after 24 hours. The ratio of γ-H2AX protein band gray value normalized data in the OMVs centrifuged at 20 000×g and 50 000×g, and the control group (without OMVs) were 2.23±0.18, 1.58±0.20, 1±0.30 (P<0.05), respectively, while DNA levels of the comet tail (TailDNA%, TDNA%) were 72.21±14.61%, 23.11±4.98%, and 1.02±1.41% (P<0.05), respectively. The corresponding DNA damage was categorized as high (grade 3), moderate (grade 2), and no damage (grade 0). CONCLUSIONS Different sizes of OMVs induced different degrees of DNA damage in intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells.
