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

The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria has urged researchers to find alternatives or adjunct therapies, such as bacteriophages or phages. This study aimed to investigate the capabilities of Salmonella Typhimurium-specific phage Ariobarzanes in reducing cytotoxicity, invasion, and induction of necrosis and apoptosis caused by Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) ATCC 14,028 infection in the human small intestinal cell line Caco-2. For this purpose, cytotoxicity tests were performed, and the production of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor -alpha (TNF-α) was investigated in phage-treated versus non-treated samples (for 6-hour or 16-hour). The results indicate the success of Ariobarzanes in reducing cytotoxicity in a dose dependently, completely inhibiting Salmonella spp. invasion of Caco-2 cells, reducing Salmonella-induced apoptosis, and necrosis, and also reducing the production and secretion of cytokines IL-8, and TNF-α compared to the bacterial control treatment. Therefore, Ariobarzanes can be introduced as a potential candidate for controlling S. Typhimurium in the agriculture, food, and/or pharmaceutical industries.
