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

A monoclonal antibody has been raised by immunizing a mouse with an isolated tegumental preparation of adult Schistosoma mansoni. The hybridoma designated NIMP/M.47, secreted an IgG2a antibody which was positive by indirect immunofluorescence with live schistosomula of S. mansoni, but not with live schistosomula of S. bovis, or with other living life cycle stages of S. mansoni. In complement-dependent, or cell-mediated in vitro cytotoxicity assays, the monoclonal antibody mediated levels of schistosomular killing as high as those obtained with sera from infected mice. No significant protection, however, was obtained in passive transfer experiments. NIMP/M47 was specific for a 20,000 dalton polypeptide in the schistosomular surface, which was also recognized by serum from infected mice.
