A review of complement sources used in serum bactericidal assays for evaluating immune responses to meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccines.
Review in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
Invasive meningococcal disease is rare and potentially devastating but often vaccine-preventable. Evaluation of meningococcal vaccine effectiveness is impractical owing to relatively low disease incidence; protection is therefore estimated using serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) assays. Original experiments on natural immunity established a titer of ≥4 as the correlate of protection for SBA assays using human complement (hSBA), but human complement is relatively difficult to obtain and standardize. Use of baby rabbit complement (rSBA assays), per standard guidelines for serogroups A and C, generally results in comparatively higher titers. Postlicensure effectiveness data for serogroup C conjugate vaccines support acceptance of rSBA titers ≥8 as the correlate of protection for this serogroup, but no thresholds have been formally established for serogroups A, W, and Y. Studies evaluating MenACWY-TT (Nimenrix®; Pfizer Inc, Sandwich, UK) immunogenicity have used both hSBA and rSBA assays, and ultimately suggest that rSBA may be more appropriate for these measurements.
