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

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is an avian respiratory pathogen causing significant global economic losses to the poultry industries. Current live-attenuated and bacterin vaccines provide some measures of protective immunity but exhibit suboptimal efficacy, utility, or safety. To address these shortcomings, we utilized knowledge of MG biology and virulence to develop a subunit vaccine containing recombinantly produced primary adhesin GapA, cytadhesin-related molecule CrmA, and four early-phase-expressed variable lipoprotein hemagglutinins (VlhAs) (3.03, 3.06, 4.07, 5.05) of the virulent strain Rlow. The vaccine was tested in chickens using a subcutaneous dose of 50 µg per protein, a prime-boost schedule, and strain Rlow challenge in multiple studies to compare adjuvant formulations. While different adjuvants resulted in variable levels of protection, only CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG ODN 2007) resulted in significant reductions of both MG recovery and tracheal pathology. These results demonstrate that a rationally designed and safe subunit vaccine is efficacious against MG disease.
