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

objectivesLassa fever virus (LAS) is transmitted to man by rodent carriers and is fatal in a third of untreated cases. Our goal is to provide immune protection from Lassa fever by mucosal vaccination. STUDY DESIGN/

methodsMice were vaccinated intragastrically with control vectors or with vectors (vaccinia or Salmonella) expressing LAS nucleocapsid protein (NP). Mice were challenged intracranially with a lethal dose of the related arenavirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), as a measure of the vaccine's ability to elicit cross-protection.

resultsSalmonella and vaccinia vectors expressing LAS NP each protected a third of the mice from lethal challenge with LCMV. All mice vaccinated with a vector expressing LCMV NP were protected as expected.

conclusionsThe LAS recombinant Salmonella vector is comparable to the LAS recombinant vaccinia vector in its ability to cross-protect mice from lethal challenge. Nucleocapsid protein is an inadequate immunogen on its own, but provides sufficient cross-protection to make it a useful component of a broadly reactive arenavirus vaccine.
