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

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important pathogen that primarily causes hospital-acquired pneumonia. The present study sought to investigate whether small protein A (SmpA) and phospholipase D (PLD) are potential candidates for protective immunity against infection with A. baumannii. Mice immunized with the fusion proteins histidine (His)‑SmpA and His‑PLD exhibited a specific immunoglobulin G response. In a pneumonia model, active and passive immunization against SmpA and PLD protected mice from A. baumannii infection. The protection was demonstrated by a markedly improved survival rate, and reduced pulmonary bacterial load, infiltration and cytokine levels in the broncho‑alveolar lavage fluid and the serum, although a combination of the two antigens did not provide improved protection compared with immunization with the individual antigens alone. In conclusion, it was identified that SmpA and PLD are highly immunogenic proteins, and potential antigen candidates for the development of effective vaccines or to prepare antisera to mitigate A. baumannii infection.
