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

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), nanoparticles released by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), have been identified as novel efficient virulence tools of these pathogens. STEC O157 OMVs carry a cocktail of virulence factors including Shiga toxin 2a (Stx2a), cytolethal distending toxin V (CdtV), EHEC hemolysin, flagellin, and lipopolysaccharide. OMVs are taken up by human intestinal epithelial and microvascular endothelial cells, the major targets during STEC infection, and deliver the virulence factors into host cells. There the toxins separate from OMVs and are trafficked via different pathways to their target compartments, i.e., the cytosol (Stx2a-A subunit), nucleus (CdtV-B subunit), and mitochondria (EHEC hemolysin). This leads to a toxin-specific host cell injury and ultimately apoptotic cell death. Besides their cytotoxic effects, STEC OMVs trigger an inflammatory response via their lipopolysaccharide and flagellin components. In this chapter, we describe methods for the isolation and purification of STEC OMVs, for the detection of OMV-associated virulence factors, and for the analysis of OMV interactions with host cells including OMV cellular uptake and intracellular trafficking of OMVs and OMV-delivered toxins.
