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

This study presents detailed analyses of total and specific serum antibody levels among 26 and 24 adult volunteers before vaccination and after the third dose of the meningococcal serogroup B outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines MeNZB and MenBvac, respectively, in a clinical trial in New Zealand (V. Thornton, D. Lennon, K. Rasanathan, J. O'Hallahan, P. Oster, J. Stewart, S. Tilman, I. Aaberge, B. Feiring, H. Nokleby, E. Rosenqvist, K. White, S. Reid, K. Mulholland, M. J. Wakefield, and D. Martin, Vaccine 24:1395-1400, 2006). With the homologous vaccine strains as targets, both vaccines induced significant increases in serum bactericidal and opsonophagocytic activities and in the levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) to OMV antigens in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to live meningococci by flow cytometry. They also induced high levels of activity against the heterologous strains, particularly in terms of opsonophagocytic activity and IgG binding to live bacteria. The antibody levels with the homologous and heterologous strains in the four assays showed high and significant positive correlations. Specific IgG binding to 10 major OMV antigens in each vaccine was measured by scanning of immunoblots; ELISAs for two antigens, lipopolysaccharide and Neisseria surface protein A (NspA), were also performed. Both vaccines elicited significant increases in IgG binding to all homologous and heterologous OMV antigens except NspA. The total IgG band intensity on the blots correlated significantly with the IgG levels determined by the OMV ELISA and flow cytometry. In conclusion, the results of the various immunological assays showed that both OMV vaccines gave rise to high levels of specific and cross-reacting antibodies.
