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

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) prolongs the survival of mice infected with Cryptococcus neoformans. To compare the efficacy of RIT with that of amphotericin B, we infected AJ/Cr mice intravenously with either nonmelanized or melanized C. neoformans cells. Infected mice were either left untreated or treated 24 h after infection with (213)Bi-18B7 antibody, amphotericin B, or both. Melanization before infection did not increase resistance of C. neoformans to RIT in vivo. (213)Bi-18B7 treatment almost completely eliminated colony-forming units from the lung and brain, whereas amphotericin B did not decrease the number of colony-forming units. We conclude that RIT is more effective than amphotericin B against systemic infection with C. neoformans.
