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

Recent data showing the high incidence of typhoid fever in young children, the demonstration of safety and efficacy of a Vi conjugate for this age group, the safety and similar immunogenicity in infants when administrated concurrently with EPI vaccines, together with the interests of manufacturers and investigators in studying such conjugate vaccines prompted us to prepare a human IgG anti-Vi standard to facilitate this work. Volunteers were injected with an investigational Vi-recombinant Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoprotein A (Vi-rEPA) conjugate vaccine. Plasmas with the highest levels of IgG anti-Vi were pooled. The IgG anti-Vi content of this preparation, assayed by precipitin analysis with purified Vi, was 33 μg/ml. Accordingly, the estimated IgG anti-Vi protective level of 3.5 ELISA unit/ml, derived from our efficacy trial of Vi-rEPA in 2-5 years old children, is equivalent to 4.3 μg/ml. This reagent is suitable for comparison of immune response of Vi conjugate vaccines or for other purposes requiring anti-Vi measurement.
