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

AniA of the pathogenic Neisseria is glycosylated in its C-terminal repeat region by the pilin glycosylation (pgl) pathway. AniA appears to be unique among bacterial nitrite reductases as it contains an N-terminal extension that includes a lipid modification site as well as a C-terminal extension that is glycosylated. Immunising with various glycoforms of the AniA protein demonstrated a strong humoral immune response to the basal monosaccharide. In addition, when animals were immunised with a truncated form of AniA, completely lacking the glycosylated C-terminal region, the antibody response was directed against AniA regardless of the glycosylation state of the protein. Immuno-SEM confirmed that AniA is expressed on the cell surface in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Antisera generated against a truncated, non-glycosylated, recombinant form of the AniA protein are capable of blocking nitrite reductase function in a whole cell assay. We propose that recombinant modified AniA has potential as a vaccine antigen for N. gonorrhoeae.
