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

backgroundMeningococcal outer membrane vesicle (OMV) vaccines are prepared with detergents to remove endotoxin, which also remove desirable antigens such as factor H binding protein (FHbp). Native OMV (NOMV) vaccines with genetically attenuated endotoxin do not require detergent treatment and elicit broader serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) responses than OMV or recombinant FHbp (rFHbp) vaccines.

methodsWe measured human complement-mediated SBA responses in mice immunized with NOMV with overexpressed FHbp subfamily B (NOMV-FHbp), NOMV with FHbp genetically inactivated (NOMV-KO), and/or a control rFHbp vaccine against meningococcal and gonococcal strains.

resultsDespite having 36-fold less FHbp per dose, the NOMV-FHbp vaccine elicited a ≥3-fold higher serum IgG anti-FHbp geometric mean titer than control vaccines containing rFHbp (P ≤ .003). Against 2 meningococcal outbreak strains with mismatched PorA and heterologous FHbp subfamily B sequence variants, the NOMV-FHbp vaccine produced ≥30-fold higher SBA titers than control vaccines. Mice immunized with NOMV-FHbp and NOMV-KO vaccines also elicited SBA against a gonococcal strain (P < .0001 vs the adjuvant-only control group). In contrast, 2 licensed meningococcal serogroup B vaccines, including one containing detergent-extracted OMV, did not produce gonococcal SBA in humans.

conclusionsA meningococcal NOMV vaccine elicits SBA against gonococci and with overexpressed FHbp elicits SBA against meningococci.
