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 treatments with either recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (rHuIL-1 beta) or a muramyl dipeptide analog ([Abu1]MDP) enhanced the resistance of mice to systemic infection with Candida albicans. The optimum treatment regimen in both normal and cyclophosphamide-treated mice was intraperitoneal administration of 100 ng of rHuIL-1 beta or 1.6 mg of [Abu1]MDP per mouse once daily for 3 consecutive days before infection. Neither rHuIL-1 beta nor [Abu1]MDP was efficacious when started after the infection or when given before cyclophosphamide to mice infected subsequently. Continuing to treat after the infection with either drug neither enhanced nor antagonized the efficacy of prophylactic treatments.
