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

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are extracellular nanostructures released from Gram-negative bacteria. Acinetobacter baumannii OMVs (AbOMVs) have been extensively studied and can thus be used as a model for understanding multiple aspects of OMV biology. In this systematic review, we comprehensively assess the relevant literature covering AbOMVs and present these studies in the context of OMV biology in general. An overview of current knowledge regarding AbOMV biogenesis is presented, focusing on the cellular, intrinsic and extracellular factors that induce AbOMV production. In addition, the components that form the AbOMVs, with an emphasis on protein content, are described. Different methodologies that have been used to isolate and purify the AbOMVs for different studies and applications are discussed. In addition, we provide a synthesis of the different roles played by AbOMVs in bacterial pathobiology, including the delivery of virulence factors, activation of immune response, gene transfer and antibiotic resistance. Finally, we detail the biotechnological applications that have employed AbOMVs, focusing on the development of AbOMV-based vaccines. Altogether, this systematic review offers a perspective of current knowledge of AbOMV and serves as a case study of Gram-negative OMVs in general.
