Improvement of the antibody-dependent respiratory burst assay for assessing protective immune responses to malaria.

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 antibody-dependent respiratory burst (ADRB) assay is a sensitive isoluminol-based chemiluminescence (CL) functional assay designed to assess the capacity of opsonizing antibodies against merozoites to induce neutrophil respiratory burst. ADRB was shown to measure protective immunity against malaria in endemic areas, but the assay needed further improvement to ensure better sensitivity and reproducibility. Here, we adjusted parameters such as the freezing-thawing procedure of merozoites, merozoites's concentration and the buffer solution's pH, and we used the improved assay to measure ADRB activity of 207 sera from 97 and 110 individuals living, respectively, in Dielmo and Ndiop villages with differing malaria endemicity. The improvement led to increased CL intensity and assay sensitivity, and a higher reproducibility. In both areas, ADRB activity correlated with malaria endemicity and individual's age discriminated groups with and without clinical malaria episodes, and significantly correlated with
