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

Surface-expressed bacterial polysaccharides are often immunodominant, protective antigens. However, these antigens are chemically and serologically highly heterogeneous, and conjugation to protein carriers is often necessary to enhance their immunogenicity. Here we show the efficacy of intranasal immunization of mice with attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium expressing the O antigen portion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide. P. aeruginosa is an ideal model system because it can cause a myriad of localized and systemic infections. In particular, this bacterium is a leading cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia and is responsible for infections after burns and after eye injury. In addition, there are mouse models of infection that mimic the clinical manifestations of P. aeruginosa infections. Immunized mice were highly protected against infection, with long-lasting immunity to acute P. aeruginosa pneumonia, whereas mice immunized with Salmonella containing only the cloning vector or PBS were not. Prophylactic and therapeutic administration of sera from vaccinated animals protected naive mice. Intranasal vaccination also provided complete protection from infections after burns and reduced pathology after corneal abrasions. These results indicate that intranasal delivery of heterologously expressed polysaccharide antigens provides protection at distinct sites of infection. This approach for the expression and delivery of polysaccharide antigens as recombinant immunogens could be easily adapted to develop vaccines for many infectious agents, without the need for complicated purification and conjugation procedures.
