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

Objectives: MEDI4893 is a novel, long-acting human monoclonal antibody targeting Methods: Anti-AT antibodies and AT expression were measured as described previously. Nasal swabs were analysed by culture and PCR. Data were summarised by treatment groups and visits by using SAS System Version 9.3. Results: Subjects receiving 2250 or 5000 mg of MEDI4893 had the highest serum anti-AT neutralising antibody (NAb) levels: approximately 180- to 240-, 70- to 100- and sevenfold to 10-fold higher than respective baseline levels at peak, 30 and 360 days, respectively. In these subjects, levels of serum anti-AT NAbs were >3.2 International Units (IU) mL Discussion: Our results indicate that (1) MEDI4893 administration at 2250 and 5000 mg would provide effective immunoprophylaxis against systemic SA disease; (2) MEDI4983 distributes to the upper respiratory tract and retains neutralising activity against AT; and (3) potential for emergence of MEDI4893 resistance is low. Conclusion: Intravenous administration of MEDI4893 maintained levels of anti-AT NAbs in serum and nasal mucosa that may provide effective immunoprophylaxis against SA disease and support continued clinical development of MEDI4893.
