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

Attaching and effacing adhesion to epithelial cells is a pathognomonic feature of infection by both enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) and certain strains of verocytotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC). EPEC adhesion to tissue culture epithelial cells results in activation of the phosphatidylinositol pathway, with elevated levels of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and cytosolic free calcium. In this report, we show that VTEC also activate this signal transduction pathway in infected epithelial cells. Specifically, increased levels of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and intracellular free calcium were observed in HEp-2 cells infected with VTEC of serotype O157:H7. VTEC of serotypes O157:H7 and O113:H21 also induced increases in intracellular calcium levels in the human intestinal crypt-like cell line T84, even with minimal or no attaching and effacing activity as monitored by transmission electron microscopy. In contrast to EPEC, VTEC failed to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of epithelial cell proteins in HEp-2 and T84 cells, as determined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. These findings suggest that signal transduction responses to VTEC, including elevated levels of inositol triphosphates and intracellular free calcium, are independent of formation of the attaching and effacing lesion. Our findings also show that VTEC pathogenesis may involve signal transduction pathways that are distinct from those induced by EPEC infection.
