Contribution of capsular and lipopolysaccharide antigens to the pathogenesis of Klebsiella pneumoniae respiratory tract infection.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The role of Klebsiella pneumoniae K- and O-polysaccharide antigens was determined in a rat model of lobar pneumonia. The induction of experimental infection in rats by wild-type strain, and its lipopolysaccharide- and capsular polysaccharide-deficient mutants was compared. Though the mutant lacking both antigens (K- O-) induced infection it could not successfully establish itself in the rat lung. It caused only mild infection, as compared to the wild type strain (K+ O+) and the strain lacking CPS alone (K- O+). Besides capsular polysaccharide, the lipopolysaccharide antigen was shown to be an important factor in pathogenesis of K. pneumoniae acute respiratory tract infection.
