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

Macrophages are phagocytic cells that constitute the primary barrier against pathogens. After phagocytosis, a single-membrane vesicle that contains the pathogen is formed. This phagosome undergoes a maturation process to acquire an increasingly antimicrobial environment. Leptospiral uptake by macrophages induces the formation of a Leptospira-containing-phagosome (LCP). The kinetics of lysosomal marker recruitment by the LCP are correlated with virulence. This chapter presents a protocol to study the intracellular trafficking of Leptospira spp. within macrophages by fluorescent labeling bacteria and different markers of the phagocytic pathway. We also describe a method to evaluate bacterial survival within macrophages.
