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

Purpose: To test the hypothesis that the C-X-C chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL10 contribute to inflammation during Staphylococcus aureus endophthalmitis. Methods: S. aureus endophthalmitis was induced by intravitreal injection of 5000 colony forming units of S. aureus into the eyes of C57BL/6J, CXCL1-/-, CXCL2-/-, or CXCL10-/- mice. At 12, 24, and 36 hours postinfection, bacterial counts, intraocular inflammation, and retinal function were assessed. Based on these results, the effectiveness of intravitreal administration of anti-CXCL1 in reducing inflammation and improving retinal function was evaluated in S. aureus-infected C57BL/6J mice. Results: We observed significant attenuation of inflammation and improvement in retinal function in CXCL1-/- mice relative to C57BL/6J at 12 hours but not at 24 or 36 hours postinfection with S. aureus. Co-administration of anti-CXCL1 antibodies with S. aureus, however, did not improve retinal function or reduce inflammation at 12 hours postinfection. In CXCL2-/- and CXCL10-/- mice, retinal function and intraocular inflammation were not significantly different from those of C57BL/6J mice at 12 and 24 hours postinfection. At 12, 24, or 36 hours, an absence of CXCL1, CXCL2, or CXCL10 did not alter intraocular S. aureus concentrations. Conclusions: CXCL1 appears to contribute to the early host innate response to S. aureus endophthalmitis, but treatment with anti-CXCL1 did not effectively limit inflammation in this infection. CXCL2 and CXCL10 did not seem to play an integral role in inflammation during the early stages of S. aureus endophthalmitis.
