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

Nontuberculous mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium avium, have been isolated from a significant percentage of patients with AIDS. Early detection of M. avium infection is difficult, and treatment regimens are often ineffective. Much needs to be learned about antigens and factors responsible for immunity to and pathogenesis of the disease. Specific antigens and diagnostic procedures for infection need to be developed. To address some of these problems, we have generated 25 different monoclonal antibodies against a serovar 4 strain of M. avium isolated from a patient with AIDS. Protease sensitivity studies have demonstrated that each of these antibodies recognizes a protein-associated epitope. Immunoblot analyses suggest that seven of these monoclonal antibodies react specifically with M. avium and M. intracellular epitopes. Immunoreactive bacteriophages were identified from an M. avium lambda gt11 expression library with two of these monoclonal antibodies (3808 C3 and 3954 B12). Lambda lysogens, generated from the immunoreactive bacteriophages, overproduced beta-galactosidase fusion proteins which were reactive with the two monoclonal antibodies in immunoblot assays. The purified fusion proteins were shown to elicit skin test reactions in sensitized guinea pigs.
