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

Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae is an important human respiratory tract pathogen that causes about 30% of otitis media in infants and children. This proportion is increasing as a result of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Because of the morbidity associated with otitis media, a strong rationale exists to develop strategies to prevent these infections. A challenge to developing a vaccine for nontypeable H. influenzae is the antigenic heterogeneity of several major surface antigens and the genetic heterogeneity among strains. Several research groups have identified conserved surface proteins and tested them as putative vaccines. A recent clinical trial with protein D, a conserved surface antigen, demonstrated partial efficacy in preventing H. influenzae otitis media. This important result provides a proof of principle for developing a vaccine to prevent otitis media caused by nontypeable H. influenzae. Several vaccine antigens for nontypeable H. influenzae are in development.
