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

backgroundThe severe damages of toxoplasmosis clearly indicate the need for the development of a more effective vaccine. Immunization with plasmid DNA is a promising vaccination technique. Therefore,

resultsThe cytokine assay results and lymphocyte proliferation response in cocktail DNA vaccines showed that IFN-γ levels were significantly higher than controls (p<0.05), whereas IL-4 expression level in BALB/c mice immunized with cocktail was lower than that in control groups and these results are confirmed by MTT test. Predominance of the levels of IgG2a over IgG1 was observed in sera of the immunized mice. Furthermore, IgG2a values in cocktail DNA vaccines pcGRA7 were significantly higher than control group (p<0.01). In contrast, IgG1 antibodies were similar between the two groups (p>0.5). So, survival time in the immune groups was significantly prolonged in comparison to control ones (p<0.01).

conclusionThe immunized mice by DNA vaccine produce higher titration of IFNγ, indicated with Th1 response which is confirmed by high level of IgG2a. These data demonstrate that the cocktail
