The role of antibody and complement in the cellular response to Trypanosoma congolense.

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.
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 in vitro cytotoxic response of bovine granulocytes and monocytes and of murine peritoneal macrophages against Trypanosoma congolense in the presence of antibody, antibody plus complement or complement alone was assessed using luminol aided chemiluminescence as a second parameter for effector cell activation. Neither cell type exhibited any trypanolysis exceeding that of antibodies and complement alone. The kinetics of the chemiluminescence response in the course of these reactions closely correlated with the trypanocidal activity of the antibody preparation used, suggesting effector cell activation as a response to antibody-mediated immobilization and damage of the trypanosomes. From these results and electron microscopic investigations we conclude that antibody- or complement-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic reactions do not play a significant role in the defence of T. congolense infection, neither by extracellular lysis nor killing of ingested parasites.
