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

We examined the way the major outer membrane protein OmpA of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is recognized by the mouse immune system, by raising a panel of 12 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against this protein. Interaction between OmpA and these MAbs is competitively inhibited with several-hundredfold dilutions of mouse polyclonal sera obtained by immunization with live or heat-killed whole cells, suggesting that OmpA is one of the immunodominant antigens of serovar Typhimurium. All of the MAbs were specific for an identical epitope(s) located on the C-terminal domain of OmpA, as indicated by the use of OmpA fragments generated by protease or cyanogen bromide treatment and by competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This epitope was highly conserved within (but not outside) the family Enterobacteriaceae: The strong immunogenicity of this epitope was surprising because the C-terminal domain of OmpA, usually thought to be located in the periplasm, is not expected to be exposed on the bacterial cell surface. A MAb, however, reacted in a cytofluorometry assay more strongly with outer-membrane-permeabilized cells than with untreated cells, a result supporting the predominantly periplasmic localization of the epitope. Significant, though low-level, reactivity of intact cells nevertheless suggests that in some cells the C-terminal domain of OmpA is exposed on the surface, a result consistent with the proposal that OmpA can fold into one of the two alternate conformations.
