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

The potential of the major structural protein DraE of Escherichia coli Dr fimbriae has been used to display an 11-amino-acid peptide of glycoprotein D derived from herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1. The heterologous sequence mimicking an epitope from glycoprotein D was inserted in one copy into the draE gene in place of a predicted 11-amino-acid sequence in the N-terminal region of surface-exposed domain 2 within the conserved disulfide loop (from Cys21 to Cys53). The inserted epitope was displayed on the surface of the chimeric DraE protein as evidenced by immunofluorescence and was recognized by monoclonal antibodies to the target HSV glycoprotein D antigen. Conversely, immunization of rabbits with purified chimeric Dr-HSV fimbriae resulted in a serum that specifically recognized the 11-amino-acid epitope of HSV glycoprotein D, indicating the utility of the strategy employed.
