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

Secreted proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis play key roles in the assembly of the mycobacterial cell wall, with many being major targets of the host immune response. To date, meaningful characterization of a significant proportion of this important group of proteins is lacking. Among the group of putatively secreted proteins of M. tuberculosis are 7 cutinase-like proteins (CLP), not previously characterized in terms of their immunogenicity or vaccine protective efficacy. Although the CLP vary in the degree of homology with one another, they all share a similar active catalytic triad, closely homologous to that of the cutinase of Fusarium solani. By construction of DNA vaccines of all 7 CLP, and expression and purification of soluble, recombinant CLP, this study addresses the immunological responses to these proteins. Clp1, 2, 3 and 6 were found to elicit significant IFN-gamma secretion in DNA immunized mice, with the antigens also demonstrating specificity in terms of CLP-generated T cell IFN-gamma release, with minimal cross reactivity of humoral responses. Finally, following delivery of DNA vaccines, Clp1, 2 and 6, conferred a moderate yet reproducible and significant level of protection in a murine aerosol model of M. tuberculosis infection.
