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

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of hospital-acquired infections as well as the leading cause of neonatal sepsis worldwide. Further, increasing antibiotic resistance in this pathogen makes K. pneumoniae troublesome to treat. Despite its clinical importance, there is not yet an approved K. pneumoniae vaccine available. Here we tested antibody durability and long-term functionality of two previously reported bioconjugate vaccines targeting the K. pneumoniae capsular type K2 and O-antigen type O1v1. We demonstrate that both antibodies are durable in mice for up to six months with significant IgG titers. However, only the K2 antibodies exhibit functionality out to six months as evidenced by serum bactericidal activity and survival in a murine bacteremia challenge model. These results are another promising step towards demonstrating the clinical capacity of bioconjugate vaccines and their induction of durable antibody responses.
