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

Phagocytosis represents a powerful stress for the phagocytic cells. Phagocytosis of Staphylococcus aureus induces a stress response associated with the synthesis of specific heat shock/stress proteins (HSP). Here we investigated the stress response of human monocyte-macrophages (m phi) to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium found, as for S. aureus, in the airways of patients suffering cystic fibrosis. P. aeruginosa activated in m phi the production of both extra- and intracellular O2-; increased Interleukin-1 beta and actin, but failed to induce host HSP. Neither S. aureus' exotoxins nor the scavenging property of P. aeruginosa's alginate, but the lower toxicity of P. aeruginosa and/or differential activation of proteine kinase C (PKC) by the two bacteria, might explain their differences in host HSP induction. While O2- is insufficient to induce HSP synthesis in m phi, hydroxyl radicals, generated in the presence of exogenous iron, is a likely additional signal, along with PKC activation, for HSP induction during bacterial phagocytosis.
