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

Rats were infected with the nematode Trichinella spiralis and the primary serum antibody response to antigenic surface proteins of infective larvae, intestinal worms, and newborn larvae was studies. 1 wk after infection, the sera contained antibodies to surface antigens of both infective larvae and intestinal worms. These early sera, however, failed to react with newborn larvae surface antigens. In addition, adsorption of sera with living intestinal worms or infective larvae removed antibodies to surface antigens of the homologous stage only. Finally, the time-course of appearance of antibodies that mediate eosinophil adherence to the surface of each stage of the parasite. We concluded that in a primary infection in rats, the surface proteins of T. spiralis used in this study are antigenically stage specific. Furthermore, they could be targets for the stage-specific, antibody-dependent eosinophil-mediated destruction of this parasite, known to occur in vitro.
