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

Controlled human infection models offer a unique opportunity to understand infectious disease pathogenesis and have accelerated vaccine development and evaluations in malaria and typhoid. One major limitation of most CHIMs is that they are typically conducted in healthy young adults who are generally the population least affected by infectious disease, and who exhibit distinct disease profiles to more at-risk populations such as people living with HIV, young children, and older adults. However, the added value of studying these populations with high relevance is only desirable if it can be done safely, robustly and acceptably. We present a framework to guide the conduct of a controlled human infection model in people living with HIV using a case-example of an experimental human pneumococcal carriage model in a setting of high disease-burden and transmission.
