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

Five patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) were immunized intraperitoneally with tetanus toxoid (TT) through an indwelling catheter. Four control patients on CAPD received the same dose of TT intramuscularly. Before immunization, virtually no anti-TT antibody-secreting cells (AbSC) were detected by the enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay in peripheral blood or peritoneal fluid from patients of either group. One to 2 weeks after immunization, high frequencies of TT-specific AbSC were detected in the circulation and peritoneal cavity. More than 80% of those cells were of the IgG isotype, with IgA accounting for most of the remainder. Patients receiving TT by the i.p. route showed significantly higher frequencies of specific IgG and IgA AbSC in the peritoneal cavity than patients immunized intramuscularly. Frequencies of AbSC in peripheral blood did not significantly differ between the two groups. Immunization with TT by both routes resulted in a significant increase of IgG anti-TT antibodies in serum, saliva and peritoneal fluid. A significant IgA antibody response was seen only in serum and peritoneal effluents. Therefore, i.p. immunization of human subjects with TT elicited both a localized response in the peritoneal cavity as well as a systemic response in serum, but did not induce a salivary IgA response.
