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

Mice expressing a vav-bcl-2 transgene were tested for their resistance to an experimental infection with Mycobacterium avium. When compared with control littermates, transgenic mice exhibited an increase in the resistance to infection which was independent of B or T lymphocytes and did not require the production of gamma interferon. Macrophages from both control and transgenic mice showed equal permissiveness to M. avium growth in vitro. Finally, transgenic mice expressed diminished circulating iron levels which correlated with the increased resistance to infection.
