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

Cells infected with pathogens can contribute to clearing infections by releasing signals that instruct neighbouring cells to mount a pro-inflammatory cytokine response, or by other mechanisms that reduce bystander cells' susceptibility to infection. Here, we show the opposite effect: epithelial cells infected with Salmonella Typhimurium secrete host factors that facilitate the infection of bystander cells. We find that the endoplasmic reticulum stress response is activated in both infected and bystander cells, and this leads to activation of JNK pathway, downregulation of transcription factor E2F1, and consequent reprogramming of microRNA expression in a time-dependent manner. These changes are not elicited by infection with other bacterial pathogens, such as Shigella flexneri or Listeria monocytogenes. Remarkably, the protein HMGB1 present in the secretome of Salmonella-infected cells is responsible for the activation of the IRE1 branch of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response in non-infected, neighbouring cells. Furthermore, E2F1 downregulation and the associated microRNA alterations promote Salmonella replication within infected cells and prime bystander cells for more efficient infection.
