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

backgroundFactor H (fH) binding protein (fHbp) is part of vaccines developed for prevention of meningococcal serogroup B disease. More than 610 fHbp amino acid sequence variants have been identified, which can be classified into 2 subfamilies. The extent of cross-protection within a subfamily has been difficult to assess because of strain variation in fHbp expression.

methodsUsing isogenic mutant strains, we compared cross-protective serum antibody responses of mice immunized with 7 divergent fHbp variants in subfamily B, including identification numbers (ID) 1 and 55, which were chosen for vaccine development. RESULTS AND

conclusionsIn the presence of the human complement downregulator fH, the ability of the anti-fHbp antibodies to deposit sufficient complement C3b on the bacterial surface to elicit bactericidal activity required inhibition of binding of fH by the anti-fHbp antibodies. With less bound fH, the bacteria became more susceptible to complement-mediated bactericidal activity. Among the different fHbp sequence variants, those more central in a phylogenic network than ID 1 or 55 elicited anti-fHbp antibodies with broader inhibition of fH binding and broader bactericidal activity. Thus, the more central variants show promise of extending protection to strains with divergent fHbp sequences that are covered poorly by fHbp variants in clinical development.
