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

Prophylactic efficacy of Sm-p80 was tested in the mouse model using DNA priming and boosting with protein approach. However, the novelty of the approach utilized in this study is that both the DNA priming and protein boosting was performed on a single day and no further vaccine inoculations were given to mice; the animals were challenged 1 month after the initial vaccine administration. Using this approach, significant reduction in worm burden (33 to 57 %) and marked decrease in egg retention in tissues (34 to 66%) was observed. Robust antibody titers and upregulation of cytokines (IL-1α/β, IL-12α, and IFN-γ) appears to correlate with the protection. This approach of administering vaccine on a single day could be greatly helpful in the field setting because it will eliminate the compliance issues that may arise with multiple boosters that may be required for optimal efficacy for some vaccines.
