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

After peroral immunization of mice with surface protein antigen (Ag) I/II of Streptococcus mutans conjugated to the cholera toxin B (CTB) subunit, cells actively secreting immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies specific for Ag I/II, but not for CT, were induced in the salivary glands; salivary IgA anti-Ag I/II antibodies and total salivary IgA were also elevated. The development of large numbers of IgA and IgG antibody-secreting cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen and high levels of serum IgA and IgG antibodies to Ag I/II and CT demonstrated that a response to both antigens occurred. At least two to three intragastric doses of 15 micrograms or more of Ag I/II-CTB conjugate, plus free CT as an adjuvant, were needed to induce the salivary IgA anti-Ag I/II response, which peaked at about 35 days and persisted at lower levels for 5 to 6 months. A single booster intragastric immunization did not induce enhanced salivary IgA anti-Ag I/II antibodies relative to the primary response, but serum IgA and IgG antibodies to both Ag I/II and CT showed evidence of marked anamnestic responses. The results indicated that relatively long-term mucosal IgA antibody responses could be induced by peroral immunization with small quantities of a CTB-conjugated protein. However, additional factors governed the distribution of cells secreting antibodies of different specificities, or capable of mounting anamnestic responses, between different compartments of the mucosal and circulatory immune systems.
