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

Escherichia coli bacteria expressing mannose-resistant fimbriae/haemagglutination induced the production of substantial amounts of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) from a peripheral human lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil (LMB) cell suspension. In this regard, E. coli bacteria with S-mannose-resistant fimbriae/haemagglutination were the most potent inducers of IL-6 and TNF-alpha secretion, followed by the E. coli strain with P-mannose-resistant fimbriae/haemagglutination. The E. coli alpha-haemolysin did not stimulate cytokine release from human LMB. In fact, this toxin, at non-toxic concentrations, depressed the spontaneous as well as the E. coli-induced production of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 beta. Our results indicate that two mechanisms may contribute to the severity of E. coli infection: (a) stimulation of cytokine release by type-specific fimbriae/haemagglutination properties and (b) depression of immune response by the E. coli alpha-haemolysin.
