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

Pulmonary lesions induced by an intratracheal inoculation of Candida albicans into rabbits in untreated control, bovine serum albumin (BSA)-sensitized and C. albicans-sensitized groups were examined immunohistochemically to clarify the localization of IgG, IgM and C3. In the control group no inflammatory cells were immunoreactive for IgG and only a few macrophages for IgM and C3, whereas in the BSA- and C. albicans-sensitized groups there were a small number of IgG-positive polymorphonuclear leukocytes and IgM- and C3-positive macrophages in the lesions, the latter group being more prominent. Furthermore, epithelioid granulomatous lesions at the late stage in the C. albicans-sensitized animals showed scattered epithelioid cells containing IgG as well as abundant IgG- and IgM-positive plasma cells. These immunohistochemical results were considered to support the estimation that immune complexes contributed to the modification of fungal lesions in the C. albicans-sensitized hosts, although non-immunological defense mechanisms seemed to be more important in the elimination of the fungus.
