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

Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and opportunist pathogen of the upper respiratory tract. The recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns through pattern-recognition receptors is crucial for eliminating microorganisms such as S. aureus. DC-SIGN (CD209) is a pattern-recognition receptor that binds to a broad range of pathogens, promoting phagocytosis. Here we aimed to study the role of mouse homologues of DC-SIGN, CD209d/e, in a methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) pulmonary infection model. CD209d/e-/- and wild-type C57BL/6 mice were infected with MRSA and inflammatory parameters were evaluated. CD209d/e-/- mice had delayed bacterial burden and mortality together with increased frequency of neutrophils and decreased dendritic cells in the lung compared with control mice. iNOS+ macrophages, and regulatory T cell frequency were decreased in the lungs of CD209d/e-/- mice. CD209d/e-/- mice had increased levels of inflammatory cytokines in the lungs, but levels of IL-12p40 were decreased. MRSA reduced expression of interferon-γ and pattern-recognition receptors in CD209d/e-/- mice. MRSA uptake by phagocytes was decreased in the lungs of CD209d/e-/- versus control mice. CD209d/e-/- bone marrow derived macrophages showed impaired MRSA uptake and killing. These data suggest that CD209d/e are essential receptors to control inflammation by activating macrophages leading to MRSA uptake and killing.
