Brucella outer membrane lipoproteins share antigenic determinants with bacteria of the family Rhizobiaceae.
Article in Clinical and diagnostic laboratory immunology, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Brucellae have been reported to be phylogenetically related to bacteria of the family Rhizobiaceae. In the present study, we used a panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to Brucella outer membrane proteins (OMPs) to determine the presence of common OMP epitopes in some representative bacteria of this family, i.e., Ochrobactrum anthropi, Phyllobacterium rubiacearum, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and also in bacteria reported to serologically cross-react with brucella, i.e., Yersinia enterocolitica O:9, Escherichia coli O:157, and Salmonella urbana. In particular, most MAbs to the Brucella outer membrane lipoproteins Omp10, Omp16, and Omp19 cross-reacted with O. anthropi and P. rubiacearum, which are actually the closest relatives of brucellae. Some of them also cross-reacted, but to a lower extent, with R. leguminosarum and A. tumefaciens. The putative Omp16 and Omp19 homologs in these bacteria showed the same apparent molecular masses as their Brucella counterparts. None of the antilipoprotein MAbs cross-reacted with Y. enterocolitica O:9, E. coli O:157, or S. urbana.
