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

Anthrax is a highly contagious zoonotic disease, posing a great threat to human life and health. Protective antibodies against anthrax protective antigens (PA) can play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of anthrax infections. However, the functions and mechanisms of the large number of non-protective antibodies elicited during the infection or vaccination of anthrax have not been clearly understood. Here, we found that two non-protective antibodies, 2A6 and 8A7, exerted an enhanced neutralizing effect both
