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

backgroundMastitis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae (GCS) is a major pathology of dairy cows. The mechanisms by which GCS intramammary infection is established and maintained involve not only bacterial adherence and invasion but also modulation of the cytokines and TLR immune response.

objectivesThe study aimed to evaluate characteristics of persistent infection of GCS collected from bovine mastitis milk in a murine mastitis model whose mammary structure is similar to that of dairy cows; dairy cow mastitis can be well simulated by using mice as models. HLJ2019 was tested for its ability to persistently infected mice by intramammary inoculation.

methodsAs antibiotics tested, establish an intramammary infection model in murine, histopathology analyses, relative expression of inflammatory cytokines mRNA and adherence and invasion in mMECs.

resultsIt induced a robust inflammatory reaction in the mammary gland, characterized by histopathological changes, increased myeloperoxidase activity and induced expression of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-1α and IL-1β) and TLR2/4, the exhibited strong LDH release, adhesion and invasive abilities in contact with mMECs.

conclusionThese results contribute to increase the available information on host-pathogen interaction and point out the need for further research to expand the knowledge about these interactions for developing new strategies to intervene in the intramammary persistent infection progress.
