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

Antibody-mediated complement-dependent bactericidal activity (BCA) against Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) is correlated with protection against invasive disease. Recently, we showed that murine antibodies elicited by neuraminic acid-containing polysialic acid (NeuPSA) antigens conferred protection against Nm group B (NmB) strains in an infant rat model of meningococcal bacteremia [Moe GR, Bhandari TS, Flitter BA. Vaccines containing de-N-acetyl sialic acid elicit antibodies protective against neisseria meningitidis groups B and C. J Immunol 2009;182(10):6610-7]. However, NeuPSA antibodies did not mediate BCA against NmB strains in vitro despite the presence of NmB-reactive IgG and IgM. Using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) SEAM 2 and 3, which are reactive with two distinctive NeuPSA epitopes, and an NmB anticapsular mAb, we show that growth in human serum affects expression of NeuPSA epitopes by NmB and is necessary for evaluating anti-NeuPSA functional activity.
