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

The surface protective antigen (Spa) protein of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is an important component in protecting pigs against swine erysipelas. The Spa protein has been antigenically divided into 3 types: SpaA, SpaB, and SpaC. Swine erysipelas vaccines are formulated with strains of serovar 1 and/or 2, both of which are SpaA-possessing serovars. The association of Spa type with E. rhusiopathiae serovar has been reported, and therefore, the determination of the Spa type and the serovar of clinical isolates are important to assess vaccine efficacy. An E. rhusiopathiae strain, designated Ireland, was isolated from a diseased pig and identified as serovar 6 by a conventional agar gel precipitation test. Sequence analysis of the chromosomal locus presumably defining the serovar antigenicity of E. rhusiopathiae revealed that the gene content and organization of the chromosomal regions of the Ireland strain were identical to those of the serovar 6 reference strain (Tuzok). Sequence analysis of the spa gene and dot blots using a SpaA-specific monoclonal antibody confirmed that, unlike the Tuzok strain possessing SpaB, the Ireland strain expressed SpaA, indicating that the Spa type is not associated with the serovar in this strain. Thus, further investigation into the association between Spa type and serovar of clinical swine isolates is warranted.
