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

Listeria monocytogenes vectors have shown promise for delivery of viral and tumor antigens in animals. We used two mutant vector strains deleted for actA/plcB (BMB72) and actA/inlB (BMB54), and engineered both strains to secrete a heterologous nucleoprotein antigen from the Influenza A virus. Strains were evaluated in vitro and in mice. Twenty-two healthy volunteers received single oral doses of either strain in a physiological study of safety, shedding, and immunogenicity. Volunteers were observed in the hospital for seven days and had daily blood cultures, routine safety blood tests (complete blood count with differential; hepatic and renal function), and fecal cultures; none had fever, positive blood cultures, prolonged shedding, or serious or unexpected events. Four of 12 volunteers who received the actA/plcB-deleted strain had minor, transient, asymptomatic serum transaminase elevations (maximum increase 1.4× upper normal). Six of six volunteers who received ≥4 × 10(9) colony forming units had detectable mucosal immune responses to listerial antigens, but not to the vectored influenza antigen. Approximately half the volunteers had modest interferon-γ ELISpot responses to a complex listerial antigen, but none had increases over their baseline responses to the influenza antigen. Comparison with prior work suggests that foreign antigen expression, and perhaps also freezing, may adversely affect the organisms' immunogenicity.
