Review in Immunologic research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01081847 (Malaria Vaccine Phase IB Clinical Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Malaria is the world's deadliest parasitic disease and effective control measures are a public health priority. Most deaths in humans from malaria are caused by one species of the protozoa, Plasmodium falciparum. An efficacious and cost-effective vaccine against this parasite is considered a holy grail of modern molecular medicine. A vaccine that targets liver stage parasites would prevent infection from reaching the blood and causing clinical disease. Among known P. falciparum antigens, liver stage antigen-1 (LSA-1) is the only protein expressed exclusively by infected hepatocytes. Several independent studies in humans have consistently related immune responses to LSA-1 with resistance to infection or disease, providing a powerful rationale for the development of liver stage vaccines. Investigations by ourselves and others aim to dissect the mechanism of cellular immunity to LSA-1 and to evaluate in different delivery systems epitopes associated with protection as components of a multiantigen malaria vaccine. The first clinical trials are already being conducted, the results of which are eagerly awaited.
