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 technique is described for estimating cell-mediated damage to the larval stages of Schistosoma mansoni that occur in the mamalian host (schistosomula), by measuring release of 51Cr from labelled organisms. This technique, although widely used for assaying cytotoxicity to single cell suspensions or monolayers, has not previously been applied to a multicellular parasite. It is more objective than microscopical assays, and allows the processing of larger numbers of samples. The new method has been used for the detection and quantification of cell-dependent cytotoxic antibodies in infected baboons. The effector cell in normal baboon peripheral blood, as in man, is associated with a neutrophil- and eosinophil-enriched fraction. Cytotoxic antibodies appear in the serum about 4 weeks after a primary infection, rising to a peak at 7-10 weeks, and then declining. In some animals, a second rise towards 30 weeks was observed. There were no consistent differences between groups of baboons exposed to 1000 cercariae, 200 cercariae, and 200 cercariae administered at each of five monthly intervals. The possible relationship between cell-dependent cytotoxic antibodies and resistance to reinfection in infected animals is discussed.
