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 28-kDa immunodominant outer membrane proteins (P28 OMPs) of Ehrlichia chaffeensis are encoded by a multigene family. As an indirect measure of the in vivo expression of the members of the p28 multigene family of E. chaffeensis, sera from two beagle dogs experimentally infected with E. chaffeensis were evaluated for the presence of specific antibodies to P28 OMPs by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antigenic peptides unique to each of the P28s were identified within the first hypervariable region of each P28 OMP. Serological responses to peptides derived from all P28 OMPs were detected from day 30 postinoculation to day 468 and from day 46 until day 159 in the two beagles. Although antibody titers to the peptides fluctuated, the peak response to all of the peptides appeared simultaneously in each dog. The antibody responses to another outer membrane protein of E. chaffeensis (GP120) showed similar temporal and quantitative changes. These data suggest that the P28 OMPs are expressed concurrently during persistent Ehrlichia infection.
