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

The period from late gestation to weaning in neonatal mammals is a critical window when the adaptive immune system develops and replaces the protection temporarily provided by passive immunity and pre-adaptive antibodies. It is also when oral tolerance to dietary antigen and the distinction between commensal and pathogenic gut bacteria becomes established resulting in immune homeostasis. The reproductive biology of swine provides a unique model for distinguishing the effects of different factors on immune development during this critical period because all extrinsic factors are controlled by the experimenter. This chapter reviews this early stage of development and the usefulness of the piglet model for understanding events during this transitional stage. The review also describes the major features of the porcine immune system and the immune stimulatory and dysregulatory factors that act during this period. The value of the model to medical science in such areas as food allergy, organ transplantation, cystic fibrosis and the production of humanized antibodies for immuno-therapy is discussed.
