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

Antibody-based approaches to pneumococcal disease may hold promise for immunocompromised patients in whom vaccines are less immunogenic and/or in the context of antimicrobial resistance. Antibody-mediated protection against experimental pneumococcal pneumonia has been shown to depend on immunoregulation, but the relationship between antibody and protection against pneumococcal sepsis and immunoregulation has not been examined. Similarly, the requirement for B and T cells for antibody efficacy is not known. In this study, we determined the efficacy of the human pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide serotype 3-specific antibody, A7 (immunoglobulin M [IgM]), in secretory IgM (sIgM)(-/-), CD4(-/-), CD8(-/-), muMT(-/-), and SCID mice and investigated its effect on cytokine and chemokine expression in sera and spleens from mice with intact cellular immunity. A7 is known to be protective against systemic infection with serotype 3 and to require complement for efficacy. Compared to that of an isotype control antibody, A7 administration prolonged the survival of mice of each immunodeficient strain and was associated with a significant reduction in CFU in blood, lung, and spleen samples and a significantly reduced level of keratinocyte-derived chemokine (KC), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) expression in normal and sIgM(-/-) mice. Studies with mice treated with penicillin revealed similar reductions in CFU and similar levels of IL-6, KC, or MIP-2 expression in A7- and penicillin-treated mice. These findings demonstrate that natural IgM and B and T cells are dispensable for A7-mediated protection against experimental pneumococcal sepsis and suggest that the efficacy of antibody-mediated protection depends on immunomodulation. Taken together, our data extend the association between antibody-mediated protection and immunomodulation to protection against systemic pneumococcal infection and to a clinically important serotype often responsible for pneumococcal sepsis.
