Potential impact of the bivalent rLP2806 vaccine on Neisseria meningitidis carriage and invasive serogroup B disease.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Asymptomatic throat carriage of Neisseria meningitidis is common in healthy individuals. In unusual cases, the bacteria become invasive, resulting in life-threatening disease. Effective meningococcal serogroup B (MnB) vaccines should provide broad protection against disease-causing strains and may confer indirect protection by impacting carriage and subsequent transmission. Factor H binding proteins (fHBPs), components of MnB vaccines in development, are classified into two immunologically distinct subfamilies (A and B). fHBP variants of MnB strains carried by adolescents are similar to those detected in infants with MnB disease. A vaccine containing subfamily A and B fHBP variants elicited bactericidal antibody responses (titers ≥ 1:4) against MnB strains expressing fHBP variants common to carriage strains and strains that cause disease in adolescents and infants in 75-100% of adolescent study subjects. This suggests that the bivalent fHBP vaccine has the potential to provide protection against invasive MnB strains and interrupt meningococcal carriage, which may also reduce infant MnB disease.
