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

The dissemination of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis cells to the heart, omentum/pancreas, spleen, liver and lungs, assessed by colony forming unit (CFU) counts, the levels of specific antibodies to this fungal agent (by ELISA), and the specific DTH reaction were studied in susceptible (B10.A) and resistant (A/Sn) mice. The animals were infected intraperitoneally with P. brasiliensis yeast cells and were evaluated 2, 4, 12 and 16 weeks later. The most remarkable differences between the two mouse strains were observed 16 weeks after infection, when B10.A mice displayed high numbers of CFU in all examined organs, except the heart, high antibody titres, and depressed DTH response. At this point, A/Sn mice presented low or absent CFU in all organs, low antibody titres and expressive DTH response. The CFU counts were shown to be a reliable parameter to discriminate susceptible from resistant animals. The fungal load in the most affected organs correlated with the antibody titres and was inversely correlated with the intensity of the DTH reaction. The patterns of immune response in this model mimic human paracoccidioidomycosis, in which high specific antibody levels and depressed DTH reactions are found in multifocal and severe forms of the disease.
