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

In the present study, the role of virulence factors in and the effect of opsonization on the interactions between Bordetella pertussis and human monocytes were investigated. The methods used facilitated the distinction between attachment and ingestion of bacteria by monocytes. Nonopsonized virulent B. pertussis cells attached to monocytes. Nonopsonized B. pertussis mutant strains deficient in filamentous hemagglutinin, fimbriae, or pertactin exhibited a reduced adherence to monocytes compared with that of their respective parental strains. Nonopsonized avirulent B. pertussis cells did not attach to monocytes. These results led to the conclusion that fimbriae and pertactin are involved in the adherence of nonopsonized virulent B. pertussis cells to monocytes and confirm the role of filamentous hemagglutinin in this process. In the absence of opsonins, about 40% of the monocyte-associated virulent B. pertussis cells were ingested. When B. pertussis cells were preopsonized with inactivated normal serum, about 50% of the monocyte-associated virulent B. pertussis cells were phagocytosed and about 80% of the monocyte-associated avirulent B. pertussis cells were ingested. These results indicate that virulence factors inhibit opsonin-mediated ingestion of B. pertussis by monocytes.
