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

Porphyromonas gingivalis is a periodontal pathogen capable of invading primary cultures of normal human gingival epithelial cells (NHGEC). Involvement of P. gingivalis fimbriae in the invasion process was examined. Purified P. gingivalis 33277 fimbriae blocked invasion of this organism into NHGEC in a dose-dependent manner. DPG3, a P. gingivalis fimbria-deficient mutant, was impaired in its invasion capability approximately eightfold compared to its parent, strain 381. However, adherence of the mutant was only 50% reduced compared to the parent. Biotin labeling of NHGEC surface proteins revealed that two fimbriated strains, but not DPG3, bound a 48-kDa NHGEC protein. Adhesin-receptor interactions, such as fimbriae binding to a 48-kDa NHGEC surface receptor, may trigger activation of eukaryotic proteins involved in signal transduction and/or provoke the generation of surface P. gingivalis molecules required for internalization.
