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

abstarctAcinetobacter baumannii infections are responsible for major health problems in immunocompromised patients particularly in intensive care units. Due to rapid acquisition of and also inherent drug resistance, a vaccine is an effective treatment option against this pathogen. BamA, an outer membrane β-barrel assembly protein, was identified in A. baumannii as potential vaccine candidate by in silico analysis. The immunoprotective efficacy of this highly conserved protein was investigated against a virulent multidrug resistant clinical isolate using murine pneumonia model. Recombinant BamA elicited a high IgG antibody titer (160000) in mice. Opsonophagocytic killing assay showed non-neutrilizing, opsonizing antibodies with combinatorial bactericidal activity of antibodies and complement components. Active and passive immunization protected 80 and 60% mice respectively against intranasal challenge with lethal dose (10
