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

Meningococcal serogroups A and C cause significant numbers of cases in China. The Sanofi Pasteur meningococcal polysaccharide A + C vaccine (Men-AC) was licensed in China in 1995. Immunogenicity and safety of a single dose of Men-AC against a similar marketed vaccine, the Lanzhou Institute serogroups A and C vaccine (Lanzhou-AC), were evaluated in children 2 to 6 y of age. Antibody titers were determined before and on Day 30 after vaccination using a serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR). Immunogenicity endpoints included rates of seroconversion (postvaccination antibody titers ≥4-fold higher) and seroprotection (postvaccination titers ≥1:8). Unsolicited systemic adverse events (AEs) within 30 minutes after vaccination, solicited injection site and systemic reactions between Days 0 and 7, unsolicited non-serious AEs within 30 d, and serious adverse events (SAEs) throughout were recorded. Seroconversion rates against serogroups A and C were 97.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94.5-98.6) and 94.7% (95% CI, 91.6-97.0), respectively, in the Men-AC group and 97.7% (95% CI, 95.4-99.1) and 94.8% (95% CI, 91.7-97.0), respectively, in the Lanzhou-AC group, while seroprotection rates were 98.0% (95% CI, 95.8-99.3) and 97.0% (95% CI, 94.5-98.6), respectively, in the Men-AC group and 99.0% (95% CI, 97.2-99.8) and 96.8% (95% CI, 94.1-98.4), respectively, in the Lanzhou-AC group. Non-inferiority of Men-AC with regard to immunogenicity was demonstrated since the lower bounds of the 95% CIs of the differences in rates between the two groups were > -5% for both serogroups. Both vaccines were well tolerated.
