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

TH1 cytokine secretion was examined in response to synthetic peptides of the 85A component of the major secreted, fibronectin-binding antigen 85 complex from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in seven different mouse strains infected with live M. bovis BCG. Twenty-eight overlapping 20-mer peptides covering the complete mature 295-amino-acid (AA) protein were synthesized. Significant interleukin-2 (IL-2) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) secretion could be measured following in vitro stimulation of spleen cells with these peptides. H-2d haplotype mice reacted preferentially against the amino-terminal half of the protein, i.e., against peptide 5 (AA 41 to 60) and especially against peptide 11 (AA 101 to 120), which contained an I-Ed binding motif. H-2b haplotype mice, on the other hand, reacted against peptides from both amino- and carboxy-terminal halves of the protein, peptide 25 (AA 241 to 260) being the most potent stimulator of IL-2 and IFN-gamma production. (BALB/c x C57BL/6)F1 animals with the H-2d/b haplotype weakly recognized peptides specific for both parental lines. Finally, CBA/J (H-2k) and major histocompatibility complex class II mutant B6.C.bm12 mice, carrying a mutant I-A beta bm12 allele on an H-2b background, reacted only very weakly to the 85A peptides. Reactive T cells isolated from lungs of BCG-infected H-2b haplotype mice recognized the same epitopes as spleen cells, especially peptide 25. These data confirm previous findings regarding the powerful IL-2 and IFN-gamma-inducing properties of antigen 85 during infection with live M. bovis BCG.
