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

Mice infected by intraperitoneal injection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were studied over a 23-week period. They showed progressive infection in the lung (with increasing microbial count and granuloma size) whereas viable bacillary counts remained largely stationary in the spleen and in the liver. The influence of H-2 genes on the progression of the lung infection was studied in four congenic strains of animals with B10 and three congenic strains of animals with BALB backgrounds. H-2k mice had significantly higher bacterial counts in the lung than H-2b mice on both B10 and BALB backgrounds, BALB. K (H-2k) mice were also more susceptible than BALB/c (H-2d) mice. Results with recombinant strains showed that bacillary counts and granulomatous infiltration were lower in the B10 (KbAbE-Db) compared with B10.A(3R) (KbAbEbDd) strain and in B10.A(4R) (KkAkE-Db) compared with B10.BR (KkAkEkDk) mice. This resistance to the late expansion of tuberculous infection in the lungs may be associated with the lack of an expressed I-E molecular or with the expression of the Db molecule.
