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

Despite the fact that the inflammatory and immune responses have evolved to combat microorganisms, the present generation of inflammation researchers has evinced relatively little interest, with the exception of septic shock, in microbially-induced inflammation. This in spite of the fact that the Gram-negative cell wall constituent, lipopolysaccharide, has been widely used as a tool in inflammation research. The reason for such lack of interest has been due to the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics which are the treatment of choice for infections and their inflammatory sequelae. However, this is likely to change within the next decade or so, with the relentless increase in the incidence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. This will return therapy to the stage where clinicians will have to treat the inflammatory symptoms of infection. Many of these symptoms are due to the stimulation of cytokine synthesis. The capacity of bacteria to induce cytokine synthesis has, until the past few years, centred exclusively on lipopolysaccharide. However, it has been established during the past 5-10 years that a range of other molecules, mainly associated with the surface of bacteria, have the capacity to induce cytokine production. Some of these are exquisitely potent stimulators of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis. The nature and mechanism of action of these various cytokine-inducing molecules, for which we have devised the name modulins, is the subject of this review. It is clear that bacteria still have many surprises for us, as exemplified by the recent discovery of the role played by Helicobacter pylori in gastritis, gastric ulceration and gastric cancer.
