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

The Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a major cause of lethal sepsis and morbidity in endemic areas of Southeast Asia and a potential bioterrorism threat. We have used susceptible BALB/c mice to evaluate the potential of targeting vaccination and generic immunotherapy to the lung for optimal protection against respiratory challenge. Intranasal vaccination with live attenuated B. pseudomallei increased survival and induced interferon-γ-secreting T cells in the lung. Intranasal delivery of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides also provided significant protection; however, combining preexposure vaccination with CpG treatment at the time of infection or up to 18 hours after infection, provided significantly greater protection than either treatment alone. This combination prolonged survival, decreased bacterial loads by >1000-fold, and delayed the onset of sepsis. This novel approach may be applicable to other potential biodefense agents for which existing countermeasures are not fully effective.
