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

This study describes a novel phage display method based on an iterative subtraction strategy to identify candidate vaccine antigens of Brugia malayi. A cDNA library of the infective larval stage of B. malayi expressed on the surface of T7 phage was sequentially screened with sera samples from human subjects showing different manifestations of the disease. Antigens that selectively and specifically bind to immune sera were then enriched using a multi-step panning procedure. This strategy identified five antigens, four of which were previously reported (ALT-2, TPX-2, VAH and COX-2) and the other one was a novel cuticular collagen (Col-4). Sera from immune individuals specifically recognized all the five antigens. However, ALT-2 appeared to be the most predominantly recognized antigen by the immune sera. Therefore, it was decided to evaluate the vaccine potential of recombinant ALT-2 (rALT-2) in a mouse and jird model. The results presented show that immunization with rALT-2 conferred over 73% protection against a challenge infection in the jird model and over 64% protection in the mouse model. The present study suggests that phage display-based cDNA screening may be a powerful tool to identify candidate vaccine antigens of infectious agents.
