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

Tuberculosis in mice is a lung disease. Airborne infection of this host species with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) resulted in 20 days of Mtb growth in the lungs before further growth was inhibited and the level of infection stabilized. Inhibition of Mtb growth was associated with the production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma)-producing T cells in the lymph nodes and spleen and with the progressive accumulation of these cells in the lungs. Production of IFN-gamma-producing T cells was not discernable until about day 15 of infection, presumably because Mtb did not disseminate from the lungs to the draining lymph nodes and spleen until after an approximate 10-day delay. By contrast, in mice infected via the intravenous (i.v.) route, the spleen became infected almost immediately, resulting in much earlier production of IFN-gamma-producing T cells and earlier control of spleen and lung infection. In mice infected concurrently via both routes, earlier generation of immunity to the i.v. infection resulted in earlier accumulation of IFN-gamma-producing T cells in the lungs and earlier control of lung infection that was initiated via the airborne route. This protection against airborne infection afforded by an earlier primary immune response is equivalent to that expressed by mice vaccinated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin or certain other vaccines.
