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

Conjugate vaccines are being widely used since their introduction. Nowadays the interest in these vaccines is still growing and new antigens and conjugate chemistry are being studied and developed. Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is one of the most studied pneumococcal antigens and is an important vaccine candidate. One approach to broaden the conjugate vaccine coverage could be the conjugation of the polysaccharide to a pneumococcal protein such as PspA. Previous results have shown that conjugated recombinant fragment of PspA (rPspA) not only maintained but also in some conjugates improved the induction of protective antibodies raised against the protein carrier. We describe here a characterization study to identify the domains of Streptococcus pneumoniae recombinant PspA (rPspA), from family 1 clade 1 and family 2 clade 3, involved in the conjugation with serotype 6B capsular polysaccharide.
