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

Melioidosis is a severe infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei. It is highly resistant to antibiotic treatment, and there is currently no licensed vaccine. Burkholderia thailandensis is a close relative of Burkholderia pseudomallei but is essentially avirulent in mammals. In this report, we detail the protective efficacy of immunization with live B. thailandensis E555, a strain which has been shown to express an antigenic capsule similar to that of B. pseudomallei. Immunization with E555 induced significant protection against a lethal intraperitoneal B. pseudomallei challenge in a mouse model of infection, with no mice succumbing to infection over the course of the study, even with challenges of up to 6,000 median lethal doses. By comparison, mice immunized with B. thailandensis not expressing a B. pseudomallei-like capsule had significantly decreased levels of protection. E555-immunized mice had significantly higher levels of IgG than mice immunized with noncapsulated B. thailandensis, and these antibody responses were primarily directed against the capsule.
