Understanding the immune responses to the meningococcal strain-specific vaccine MeNZB measured in studies of infants.
Trial report in Clinical and vaccine immunology : CVI, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Vaccine trials with infants enrolled between 6 and 10 weeks of age (young infants) and 6 and 8 months of age (older infants) provided an opportunity to evaluate immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype distribution and avidity maturation as indicators of antibody function and immunologic memory. Following vaccination with a strain-specific outer membrane vaccine, MeNZB, pre- and postvaccination sera were used to determine IgG isotype responses and avidity indices (AI) in subsets of vaccinated subjects. Measurements of IgG isotypes involved 100 infants from each trial. AI were measured in 50 infants from the young infant trial who received a fourth vaccine dose and in 40 older infants from whom serum was collected 7 months after the primary vaccination course. IgG1 and IgG3 dominated the responses to the vaccine. A modest linear correlation (P < 0.001) occurred between serum bactericidal antibody (SBAb) titers and the total IgG or the IgG1 antibody units in older infants. The young infants showed a modest linear correlation between SBAb and total IgG (P = 0.005) and a weak linear correlation between SBAb and IgG1 (P = 0.003). Increased avidity with age was demonstrated in both groups. The AI in the young infants increased from 51.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 47.7 to 54.7) postvaccination to 68.7% (95% CI, 65.5 to 71.9%) following the fourth dose of vaccine (P < 0.001). The mean avidity of the older infants increased significantly (P = 0.00012) from 42.4% (95% CI, 39.1 to 45.3%) postvaccination to 50.4% (95% CI, 47.2 to 53.6%) 4 months later. A fourth dose of MeNZB is now being given to young infants at 10 months of age.
