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

A fluorescent-particle-based multiplex flow cytometric immunoassay (MIA) for the detection of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and two IgG subclasses, IgG1 and IgG2, specific for Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A (MenA) and C (MenC) polysaccharides (PS) was developed. The assay comprised three separate duplex assays, one for the detection of the IgG response to MenA and MenC PS, another for the detection of the IgG1 response to MenA and MenC PS, and a third for the detection of the IgG2 response to MenA and MenC PS. Next, the three separate duplex assays were combined and analyzed as a hexaplex assay. No interference between monoplex, duplex, and hexaplex assays was observed, and the assay was found to have low intra- and interassay variation (<9.0% and <27%, respectively). Comparison of the meningococcal subclass MIA to the in-house enzyme-linked inmmunosorbent assays showed a good correlation (R >or= 0.85) for each of the subclasses. We conclude that the hexaplex meningococcal subclass MIA is an easy and specific assay for the determination of anti-MenA and anti-MenC PS subclass IgG, requiring minimal amounts of serum to study IgG subclass responses to vaccines.
