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

Lactoferrin, an iron binding glycoprotein, possesses multiple immune modulatory activities, including the ability to promote antigen specific cell-mediated immunity. Previous studies showed that adding bovine lactoferrin to the BCG vaccine (an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette Guerin) resulted in increased host protective responses upon subsequent challenge with virulent Erdman Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in mice. The studies outlined here investigate utility of a novel recombinant human lactoferrin to enhance the BCG vaccine and protect against alveolar injury during experimental MTB infection in mice. Sialylated and non-sialylated forms of the recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF), glycoengineered in yeast (Pichia pastoris) and expressing humanized N-glycosylation patterns, were examined for their ability to enhance efficacy of the BCG vaccine in a murine TB model system. Results indicated that the sialylated form of the recombinant human lactoferrin generated increased antigen specific recall responses to BCG antigens. Furthermore, augmented protection was demonstrated using the sialylated lactoferrin adjuvant with BCG, resulting in significant reduction in associated pathology following challenge with virulent organisms.
