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

Neutrophil activation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of respiratory disease in Burkholderia cepacia-colonized cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. As bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are potent immunostimulatory molecules, we investigated the role of B. cepacia LPS in neutrophil activation processes. LPS extracted from a highly transmissible and virulent strain of B. cepacia (J2315) was found to increase neutrophil surface expression of the beta2 integrin, complement receptor 3, and to prime neutrophil respiratory burst responses to the neutrophil-activating agent fMet-Leu-Phe. By contrast, LPS extracted from a nonmucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain isolated from a patient with CF showed little or no priming activity. As B. cepacia is currently being developed as a biocontrol agent for large-scale agricultural release, we compared LPS molecules from a range of bacterial strains for their proinflammatory ability. Priming activity was demonstrated in LPS extracts from all B. cepacia strains tested, with one environmental strain, J2552, showing the highest activity. These findings indicate (i) that B. cepacia LPS may contribute to the inflammatory nature of B. cepacia infection in CF patients, both by promoting increased neutrophil recruitment and by priming neutrophil respiratory burst responses, and (ii) that environmental strains of B. cepacia may have considerable inflammatory potential in susceptible individuals.
