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

To study humoral and cellular immunity against human parechovirus type 1 (HPEV1), the viral capsid proteins VP0, VP1, and VP3 were expressed and purified as glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged recombinant proteins. The fusion proteins were used to raise antisera in rabbits. VP0 and VP1 antisera specifically detected HPEV1-infected cells in culture by immunoperoxidase staining and immunofluorescence. Furthermore, antisera against the VP0 and VP1 proteins had neutralizing effects against HPEV1 infection. When the HPEV1 antibody titers of 20 adults and 55 children were determined by a microneutralization test, the prevalence of HPEV1 antibodies in the adult population was 96%, while 50% of children were seropositive. Selected sera were used to evaluate HPEV1 fusion proteins as antigens in an enzyme immunoassay. The VP3 capsid protein appeared to be suitable for the purpose, with specificity of 100% and sensitivity of 96% compared to the neutralization test. Furthermore, T-cell responses to the purified HPEV1 and HPEV1 capsid fusion proteins were studied in 20 adults. Sixty percent of the subjects had T-cell proliferation responses to purified HPEV1, and 90% of the subjects also had positive T-cell responses to at least one of the GST capsid proteins.
