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

Leptospira species are one of the few spirochetes to possess a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) embedded in their outer membrane. Two protocols are currently available to extract and/or purify the leptospiral lipopolysaccharides: the rapid proteinase K method and the classical hot water/phenol extraction. The first method allows to get a quick overview of the LPS O antigen structure, whereas the second method is fitted to study the immunological properties of the leptospiral LPS. These two methods will be detailed in this chapter. Methodologies to assess the quality of the purification, such as the modified silver staining coloration, will also be reviewed. Both advantages and limitations of the different analyses will be described.
