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

We tested the hypothesis that intramuscular immunization with a multisubunit chlamydial vaccine candidate will induce long lasting immune responses in mice. Accordingly, groups of female C57BL/6 mice were immunized intramuscularly with Vibrio cholerae ghosts (VCG) expressing the Poring B and polymorphic membrane protein-D proteins of Chlamydia trachomatis or a control antigen. Humoral and cell-mediated immune responses were evaluated following immunization and after live chlamydial infection. Immunization induced an anamnestic response characterized by chlamydial-specific IgG2a and IgA antibodies in sera and vaginal lavage as well as specific genital and splenic T cell responses. The results also revealed that the local mucosal and systemic cellular and humoral immune effectors induced in mice following immunization with the vaccine candidate are long lasting. Vaccinated mice cleared intravaginal challenge with 10(5) chlamydial inclusion forming units within 12 days compared to control mice, which shed up to 2 × 10(3) IFUs at this time point. Moreover, rechallenge of mice 98 days after resolution of the primary infection resulted in the recall and retention of a relatively high frequency of chlamydial-specific Th1 cells and IgG2a in the genital mucosa. These results provide the first evidence that a VCG-based multisubunit chlamydial vaccine is capable of effectively stimulating anamnestic systemic and mucosal immune responses in mice. The data support further vaccine evaluation and testing for induction of long-term protective immunity.
