Bactericidal monoclonal antibody against Moraxella catarrhalis lipooligosaccharide cross-reacts with Haemophilus Spp.
Article in Current microbiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against lipooligosaccharide (LOS) determinants after immunization of BALB/c mice with heat inactivated Moraxella catarrhalis serotype A were generated. MAb 219A9 was specific for a common epitope of A, B, and C M. catarrhalis serotypes in ELISA and immunofluorescent test (IFT). In both tests it also cross-reacted with whole bacteria and LPS antigens isolated from non-typeable H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae strains. IgM antibody clone 219A9 possessed a strong bactericidal effect against the three serotypes in the presence of complement. Our results demonstrate that antibodies directed to a single LOS epitope common for A, B, and C serotype could be highly protective. This suggests that the common determinants are very promising in the development of LOS-based vaccine against M. catarrhalis. The cross-reactions of MAb 219A9 with Haemophilus spp. also show that immunization could result in immune response to epitopes conserved in other important respiratory pathogens.
