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

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a multidrug-resistant (MDR) opportunistic pathogen causing severe hospital-, and community-acquired infections worldwide. Thus, the development of effective immunotherapy-based treatments is essential to combat the MDR-PA infections. In the current study, we evaluated the protective efficacy of polyclonal avian antibodies raised against inactivated whole cells of the PAO1 strain in murine models of acute pneumonia and burn wound. The efficacy of generated antibodies was evaluated against different PA strains through several in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experiments. The results showed that the anti-PAO1-IgY effectively reduced the motility, biofilm formation and cell internalization ability, and enhanced the opsonophagocytic killing of PA strains through the formation of immobilized bacteria and induction of increased cell surface hydrophobicity. Furthermore, immunotherapy with anti-PAO1-IgY completely protected mice against all PA strains in both acute pneumonia and burn wound murine models. It was found to reduce the bacterial loads in infected burned mice through interfering with virulence factors that play vital roles in the early stages of PA infection, such as colonization and cell internalization. The immunotherapy with anti-PAO1-IgYs could be instrumental in developing effective therapies aimed at reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with PA infections.
