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

Purpose: Materials and Methods: This study aimed to measure baseline immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels against 23 vaccine serotypes in 56 type 2 diabetic and 56 healthy Indian adults using the World Health Organization-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay protocol. Results: Protective IgG levels (≥1.3 µg/mL) were observed for 78% of serotypes (18/23) in healthy adults but only 35% (8/23) in diabetics. Significant differences were noted in 13 of 23 serotypes (56.2%), including 1, 6B, 7F (p=0.008), 8 (p=0.01), 9V, 11A (p=0.009), 12F, 17F, 18C (p=0.002), 19A (p=0.0006), 19F (p=0.004), 22F (p=0.0003), and 33F (p=0.04). Serotype 14 showed the highest IgG levels, while serotype 3 had the lowest. Seroprevalence ranged from 17.8% to 98.21% in non-diabetics and 10.7% to 96.4% in diabetics. Conclusion: The findings highlight differences in baseline immunity and provide insights into pneumococcal immunogenicity in Indian adults with and without diabetes.
