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

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the USA. As an STI, C. trachomatis infections can cause inflammatory damage to the female reproductive tract and downstream sequelae including infertility. No vaccine currently exists to C. trachomatis, which evades sterilizing immune responses in its human host. A better understanding of this evasion will greatly benefit the production of anti-Chlamydia therapeutics and vaccination strategies. This minireview will discuss a single branch of the immune system, which activates in response to genital Chlamydia infection: so-called "cell-autonomous immunity" activated by the cytokine interferon-gamma. We will also discuss the mechanisms by which human and mouse-adapted Chlamydia species evade cell-autonomous immune responses in their native hosts. This minireview will examine five pathways of host defense and their evasion: (i) depletion of tryptophan and other nutrients, (ii) immunity-related GTPase-mediated defense, (iii) production of nitric oxide, (iv) IFNγ-induced cell death, and (v) RNF213-mediated destruction of inclusions.
