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

Hydrogen peroxide is known to induce a multigenic response in Salmonella typhimurium cells. We have used a Mudlux transcriptional reporter system to identify and isolate fusions in the virulent strain SL1344 which respond to hydrogen peroxide in vitro by light production, and one of these fusions, MPG203, has been further characterized. Transient light production was observed from MPG203 at levels of hydrogen peroxide as low as 10 microM. However, high levels of this toxic oxidizing agent resulted in light suppression, particularly at low bacterial densities. This fusion was also shown to produce light following adhesion to cells of the mouse macrophage cell line J774.2. Furthermore, the response was greatly reduced in the presence of catalase, directly implicating hydrogen peroxide as the eliciting agent and suggesting the involvement of the hydrogen peroxide-induced bacterial stress response in the infection process. Chemiluminescence studies also indicated that inhibition of the respiratory burst may occur as the infection ratio is increased. In addition, the level of light produced from bacteria within individual macrophage cells was shown to vary.
