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

Diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae is known to give long-lasting protection against subsequent life-threatening illness. The serum vibriocidal antibody response has been well studied and has been shown to correlate with protection. However, this systemic antibody response may be a surrogate marker for mucosal immune responses to key colonization factors of this organism, such as the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) and other factors. Information regarding immune responses to TCP, particularly mucosal immune responses, is lacking, particularly for patients infected with the El Tor biotype of V. cholerae O1 or V. cholerae O139 since highly purified TcpA from these strains has not been available previously for use in immune assays. We studied the immune responses to El Tor TcpA in cholera patients in Bangladesh. Patients had substantial and significant increases in TcpA-specific antibody-secreting cells in the circulation on day 7 after the onset of illness, as well as similar mucosal responses as determined by an alternate technique, the assay for antibody in lymphocyte supernatant. Significant increases in antibodies to TcpA were also seen in sera and feces of patients on days 7 and 21 after the onset of infection. Overall, 93% of the patients showed a TcpA-specific response in at least one of the specimens compared with the results obtained on day 2 and with healthy controls. These results demonstrate that TcpA is immunogenic following natural V. cholerae infection and suggest that immune responses to this antigen should be evaluated for potential protection against subsequent life-threatening illness.
