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

Antibodies against reduction modifiable protein (anti-Rmp Abs) can block complement-dependent killing of Neisseria gonorrhoeae by otherwise bactericidal Abs. An anti-lipooligosaccharide bactericidal monoclonal Ab (mAb) 2C7, a gonococcal vaccine candidate Ab, attenuates vaginal colonization by gonococci in BALB/c mice. Here we show that anti-Rmp Abs block the efficacy of mAb 2C7 in mice in a dose-dependent manner. Anti-Rmp Abs also counteract 2C7-mediated enhancement of C3 deposition on gonococci in vivo. The mouse model will prove useful to study how blocking Abs influence the efficacy of gonococcal vaccines. Preexisting anti-Rmp Abs will be an important consideration in evaluating the efficacy of gonococcal vaccine candidates.
