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

Specific antigen vaccination by administration of the target antigen in aqueous solution has resulted in significant decreases of disease severity in animal models of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, type I diabetes, and several forms of antigen-induced arthritis, even if administered after the initiation of symptoms. However, in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and type I diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, repeated administration of peptide fragments of target antigens in incomplete Freund's adjuvant has resulted in severe anaphylactic reactions. Although these methods of administration are known to potentiate CD4 T helper 2 (Th2) responses, which is the goal of specific antigen vaccination, the risk of anaphylaxis raises a red flag concerning use of this therapy for diseases such as type I diabetes, where the survival time after onset is quite long. It is clear that specific antigen vaccination is effective in preventing several animal models of autoimmune disease, and in treating these diseases once the symptoms are overt. However, the risks of this therapy require serious consideration of alternative methods for down-regulation of the autoimmune process.
