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

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major human pathogen, which causes superficial to lethal clinical infections. Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes in the blood and are the first defense mechanism against S. aureus infections. Here we show Staphylococcal Superantigen-Like protein 11 (SSL11) from MRSA USA300_FPR3757 mediated differentiated human neutrophil-like cells (dHL60) motility arrest by inducing cell adhesion and "locking" cells in adhesion stage, without inducing oxidative burst. Pre-incubation of SSL11 with the glycan Sialyl Lewis X blocked SSL11 function and de-glycosylation of dHL60 cells by PNGase F abolished SSL11 binding, suggesting that SSL11 functions via interacting with glycans. This is the first description of a bacterial toxin inhibiting neutrophil motility by inducing adhesion and "locking" cells in an adhesion stage. Therefore, this study might provide a new target against S. aureus infections.
