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

Despite high vaccination coverage after introduction of whole cell (wP) and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines, pertussis resurgence has been reported in many countries. aP vaccines are commonly preferred due to side effects of wP vaccines and formulated with aluminum hydroxide (Alum), which is not an effective adjuvant to eliminate Bordetella pertussis. Low efficiency of current aP vaccines is thought to be the main reason for the resurgence for which newer generation aP vaccines are needed. In the present study, immunogenicity and protective efficacy of outer membrane protein Q (OmpQ) and a putative lipoprotein (Lpp) from B. pertussis were investigated in mice by using two diefrent adjuvants, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) or Alum. OmpQ and putative Lpp were cloned, expressed, and purified from Escherichia coli. The proteins were formulated to immunize mice. Both recombinant OmpQ and putative Lpp induced a significant increase in immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) responses compared to the control group. Moreover, MPLA-adjuvanted formulations resulted in higher IgG2a levels than Alum-adjuvanted ones. However, there were no significant differences between test and control groups regarding interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) levels, and the mice lung colonization experiments indicated that neither rOmpQ nor rLpp could confer protection alone against B. pertussis challenge.
