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

backgroundGlaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) is one of the most important porcine pathogens causing Glässer's disease, and QseBC two-component system (TCS) is associated with various behaviors of G. parasuis. Our preliminary tests confirmed that plant-derived compounds cinnamaldehyde (CAL) and hesperitin (HES) exhibited promising antimicrobial activity against G. parasuis. Here, we further investigate the antimicrobial effects of CAL and HES on G. parasuis and the underlying mechanisms.

resultsWe observed that CAL and HES affected the morphology and physiology of G. parasuis based on the biofilm biomass, confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) assay, scanning electron microscope (SEM) assay, and conductivity determination as well as intracellular iron level measurement either used alone or in combination. Moreover, CAL and HES can inhibit QseBC TCS of G. parasuis by down-regulating the QseBC related genes and quenching the QseC protein based on quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and molecular docking and fluorescence quenching assay. In vivo study further evident that CAL and HES exhibited significant antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity on G. parasuis-infected mice.

conclusionsThese findings suggested that CAL and HES can exert antibacterial activity on resistant G. parasuis by targeting QseBC, and they may serve as the promising antimicrobial agents for the treatment of G. parasuis infection.
