Antibody responses in
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Methods: We measured plasma antibody responses to OPS (and MrkA, a fimbrial protein) in a cohort of patients with Kpn BSI and compared these with controls, including a cohort of healthy individuals and a cohort of individuals with Findings: We enrolled 69 patients with Kpn BSI. Common OPS serotypes accounted for 57/69 (83%) of infections. OPS was highly immunogenic in patients with Kpn BSI, and peak OPS-IgG antibody responses in patients were 10 to 30-fold higher than antibody levels detected in healthy controls, depending on the serotype. There was significant cross-reactivity among structurally similar OPS subtypes, including the O1v1/O1v2, O2v1/O2v2 and O3/O3b subtypes. Physiological amounts of capsule produced by both hyperencapsulated and non-hyperencapsulated Kpn significantly inhibited OPS-targeted antibody binding and function. Interpretation: OPS was highly immunogenic in patients with Kpn BSI, supporting its potential as a candidate vaccine antigen. The strong cross-reactivity observed between similar OPS subtypes in humans with Kpn BSI suggests that it may not be necessary to include all subtypes in an OPS-based vaccine. However, these observations are tempered by the fact that capsule production, even in non-highly encapsulated strains, has the potential to interfere with OPS antibody binding. This may limit the effectiveness of vaccines that exclusively target OPS. Funding: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Research in Context:
