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

Immunoprotective potential of delivered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) preparation from Klebsiella pneumoniae was determined in a murine model of lobar pneumonia. Protection was assessed with three doses of LPS (25, 50 and 100 microg; without any adjuvant) administered intranasally or intramuscularly. After evaluation of lung tissue (bacterial load and histopathology), no significant protection was observed at 25 microg with either application. A significant decrease in lung bacterial load coupled with fall in severity of lung lesions was observed with 50 microg (again both applications). At 100 microg dose, with intramuscular route, a further decrease in the lung bacterial load was shown compared to the 50 microg dose. In contrast, 100 microg LPS, when given intranasally, resulted in a higher bacterial colonization of the lung tissue and higher lung pathology; thus we recommend intramuscular instead of the intranasal route for developing protection against K. pneumoniae-mediated pneumonia with intact LPS-based vaccines.
