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 nature of antibody responses to the excretory-secretory (ES) products of adult worms and microfilariae (Mf) of Litomosoides carinii in albino rats and their possible role in protection have been studied. Rats were immunized with ES products derived from in vitro incubation of adults or Mf. The sera from these rats promoted neutrophil-mediated killing of Mf in vitro. The antibody responsible for the cytocidal activity was identified as IgG isotype. Indirect fluorescent antibody test showed the presence of IgG on the surface of Mf incubated in either of the immune sera. The immune sera were effective in clearing the circulating Mf in Mastomys natalensis, indicating the protective nature of the antibody. Thus, L. carinii in culture liberate functional antigens that seem to have protective potential.
