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

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) causes diarrheal disease. Once ingested, these extracellular pathogens attach to the intestinal epithelial cells of their host, collapse the localized microvilli, and generate actin-rich structures within the host cells that are located beneath the attached bacteria, called "pedestals." Palladin is an actin-associated protein that cross-links and stabilizes actin filaments. This protein also acts as a scaffolding protein for other actin-binding proteins. Here, we examine the role of Palladin during EPEC infections and show that Palladin is co-opted by EPEC. Depletion of Palladin resulted in shorter pedestals, and when Palladin containing mutations in either its actin- or VASP-binding domains were overexpressed in cells, pedestals decreased in length. Importantly, we show that the overexpression of Palladin in ArpC2
