The Miller Hypothesis.
Article in Forum on immunopathological diseases and therapeutics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The immune response is a cornerstone in the body's struggle against microbial pathogens. In ways that we do not yet completely understand, the mammalian immune response has evolved to identify proteins of pathogens that are either important virulence factors or key immunoprotective targets. Professor James N. Miller suggested that one way to discover such proteins is to harness the power of the immune system in the laboratory.This general concept, referred to here as the Miller Hypothesis, took several different manifestations in the discovery of some of the best known and widely studied leptospiral proteins: The porin OmpL1 was identified by surface immunoprecipitation, leptospiral immunoglobulin-like proteins were uncovered by screening a genomic library with sera from leptospirosis patients, and the major outer-membrane lipoprotein LipL32 was recognized through immunoblot studies. Such approaches will continue to bear fruit for both the leptospiral research field and research on other invasive pathogens.
