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

Schistosomiasis is an important public health concern in more than 76 developing countries. Advent of an anti-schistosome vaccine would undoubtedly add to the existing control measures and may eventually help in the elimination of this disease. In the present study we have attempted to dissect the role(s) of antibodies in Sm-p80 mediated protection by intravenously transferring pooled sera from mice immunized with Sm-p80-pcDNA3 or purified IgG from baboons immunized with Sm-p80-pcDNA3, into naïve C57BL/6 mice, respectively, prior to challenge with cercariae. The passive transfer of antibodies from protected mice (homologous transfers) as well as transfer of total IgG from baboons (heterologous transfers), into naïve mice showed statistically significant reductions in worm burden and in the number of eggs in the tissues. Immunizations of antibody knockout mice (μMt-/-; B10.129S2 (B6)-Igh-6(tm1Cgn)/J) with recombinant Sm-p80 in the presence of CpG-motif oligodeoxynucleotides as an adjuvant, resulted in substantial reduction of Sm-p80-mediated protection, compared to C57BL/6 (normal) control group of mice. Down regulation of cytokines that have important effects on B cell proliferation as well as the recovery of higher number of parasites in antibody knockout indicated a significant role(s) of antibodies in Sm-p80-mediated protection against Schistosoma mansoni in mice. In toto, these studies appear to suggest that antibodies play a significant role in Sm-p80 mediated protection.
