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

We have examined the production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) and its role in endogenous bacteremia in mice. Mice given P. aeruginosa D4 orally died of bacteremia between days 10 and 13 following cyclophosphamide-induced leukocytopenia. In this model, serum endotoxin was detected beginning on day 7 by the Limulus assay and P. aeruginosa was cultured from blood beginning on day 9. ETA and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) were also detected in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay beginning on day 9. Purified ETA did not stimulate the production of TNF in normal mice primed with a synthetic derivative of muramyl dipeptide in the absence of endotoxin. However, ETA enhanced and primed endotoxin-induced TNF production in mice. The mortality rate of mice given ETA mutant PAO-PRI (5.0%) was significantly lower than that of mice given the parent strain (78.8%). These data indicate that ETA may be an important factor in the occurrence of P. aeruginosa bacteremia and/or the death of mice. Also, ETA may be responsible for enhancing the production of a lethal dose of TNF in the presence of endotoxin in P. aeruginosa bacteremia.
