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

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the effects of norepinephrine (NE) released from endogenous stores on bacterial translocation of Escherichia coli in mice by administration of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), which selectively destroys noradrenergic nerve terminals. MATERIAL AND METHODS E. coli strain BW25113 and its derivatives (BW25113ΔqseC and BW25113ΔqseC pQseC) were used in this study. The serum concentrations of endotoxin were analyzed. The strains BW25113, BW25113ΔqseC, and BW25113ΔqseC pQseC were detected respectively in tissue specimens harvested from mice treated with 6-OHDA. RESULTS Mice treated with BW25113ΔqseC showed reduced levels of bacterial translocation following administration of 6-OHDA compared with mice treated with BW25113. The defect of E. coli QseC receptor caused the norepinephrine-QseC signal chain to be interrupted, and the invasiveness and penetrating power of the bacteria on the intestinal mucosa was weakened, eventually leading to a significant decrease in the incidence of bacterial translocation. CONCLUSIONS NE modulates the interaction of enteric bacterial pathogens with their hosts via QseC. The blockade of the QseC receptor-mediated effects may be useful to attenuate bacterial translocation.
