Recombinant Staphylococcus strains as live vectors for the induction of neutralizing anti-diphtheria toxin antisera.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We have investigated whether the nonpathogenic gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus xylosus and S. carnosus can display a whole domain of a toxic protein on their surface and if such vectors are suitable for immunization of BALB/c mice. The nucleotide sequence encoding the receptor-binding domain (DTR; amino acids 382 to 535) of diphtheria toxin (DT) was inserted into plasmids pSE'mp18ABPXM and pSPPmABPXM, which were designed to display heterologous proteins on S. xylosus and S. carnosus cell surfaces, respectively. Western blot analysis of the resulting bacterial lysates indicates that DTR is produced by each expression system. However, analysis of rabbit anti-DTR antisera binding to the transformed live bacteria shows that DTR is not displayed on the surface of S. xylosus cells whereas it is efficiently exposed on S. carnosus. A significant anti-DT antibody response was raised in BALB/c mice immunized intraperitoneally with S. carnosus displaying DTR, and the antisera abolished DT cytotoxicity on Vero cells. Thus, only S. carnosus can display a whole domain of a toxic protein and represents a potential vector for humoral vaccination.
