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

Pulmonary infection with the bacterium Yersinia pestis causes pneumonic plague, an often-fatal disease for which no vaccine is presently available. Antibody-mediated humoral immunity can protect mice against pulmonary Y. pestis infection, an experimental model of pneumonic plague. Little is known about the protective efficacy of cellular immunity. We investigated the cellular immune response to Y. pestis in B-cell-deficient microMT mice, which lack the capacity to generate antibody responses. To effectively prime pulmonary cellular immunity, we intranasally vaccinated microMT mice with live replicating Y. pestis. Vaccination dramatically increased survival of microMT mice challenged intranasally with a lethal Y. pestis dose and significantly reduced bacterial growth in pulmonary, splenic, and hepatic tissues. Vaccination also increased numbers of pulmonary T cells, and administration of T-cell-depleting monoclonal antibodies at the time of challenge abrogated vaccine-induced survival. Moreover, the transfer of Y. pestis-primed T cells to naive microMT mice protected against lethal intranasal challenge. These findings establish that vaccine-primed cellular immunity can protect against pulmonary Y. pestis infection and suggest that vaccines promoting both humoral and cellular immunity will most effectively combat pneumonic plague.
