Cellular and humoral immune responses of jirds resistant to Dipetalonema viteae infection.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1986. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Jirds with prepatent Dipetalonema viteae infections develop an acquired immunity to challenge infections. The objective of the present study was to observe parasite-specific and nonspecific cellular and humoral immune responses in immune jirds. Splenic hyperplasia was observed in infected jirds during the first 5 weeks of infection. Antigen-reactive spleen cells were observed in the lymphocyte transformation assay at 3 weeks postinfection. A depressed response to concanavalin A (ConA) was seen at 1 week postinfection through week 5. Mitomycin C-treated cells from infected jirds were capable of suppressing the response of normal cells to ConA. Sephadex G-10-nonadherent spleen cells from infected jirds showed elevated responses to D. viteae antigen at 1, 3, and 5 weeks and elevated responses to ConA at 3 and 5 weeks. Filaria-specific antibodies were seen at 1 week postinfection, and titers rose through week 5. Plaque-forming cell production to sheep erythrocytes was not depressed in infected jirds. It was concluded that jirds react immunologically with both cellular and humoral responses during the prepatent period of D. viteae infection. A concurrent immune depression was seen. Its effect on resistance and tolerance remains to be determined.
