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

The limited success of tuberculosis (TB) control measures reflects the inadequacy of Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the only licensed TB vaccine. There is a recent resurgence of interest in intravenous administration of BCG. However, direct injection of live BCG bacteria into the bloodstream of human beings is not likely to be practical due to safety concerns. In this study, it is showed that debris of BCG-infected macrophages induces activation and maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro, and an intravenous DCs vaccine phagocytosing noninfective cell debris induces robust antigen-specific T-cell immune responses and immune protection against
