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

The results presented here demonstrate conclusively for the first time that Nematospiroides dubius exhibits stage specificity in the expression of cuticular antigens, and infer that the stage specific antigens demonstrable on L4 stages 6 days following infection account for the immunity generated by abbreviated infection regimes. L4 stages 6 days following infection appeared to possess a stage-specific surface molecule (MW 16,000) which either disappeared on maturity to adults or somehow became unavailable to the surface probes used in this study. A molecule of similar molecular size was recognized by sera raised in mice immunized either by the administration of irradiated larvae or by using an antihelminthic-abbreviated infection and also by sera from jirds which had recently expelled N. dubius. The immune derivation of these sera supports the hypothesis that the molecule having a MW of 16,000 is functionally immunogenic. A monoclonal antibody (29-1-D1) was used to demonstrate a further stage specific molecule (MW 65,000), this time on the surface of adult N. dubius. The application of biochemical techniques suggested that further heterogeneity existed in surface molecules resolving between 60,000-70,000 on SDS-PAGE and a hypothesis was formulated in an attempt to explain this phenomenon.
