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

Following oral immunization of C57BL/6 mice with a Toxoplasma gondii sonicate (TSo) in association with either cholera toxin (CT) or CT B subunit, the T. gondii-specific in vitro proliferation of splenic T lymphocytes was determined. Cytokines produced by these T cells were then characterized. After oral challenge with T. gondii 76K cysts, the percentage of cumulative survival was assessed, as was the number of brain cysts in the mice which survived. The TSo-specific proliferation of splenic T lymphocytes was greatly enhanced by the use of CT, whereas CT B subunit alone did not lead to amplification of splenic T-cell proliferation. The use of CT was associated with an increase of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and gamma interferon synthesis by TSo-stimulated splenic T cells, whereas no enhancement of IL-5 and IL-6 production was observed. IL-4 was not detected. A significant protection of mice immunized orally with TSo plus CT was observed in comparison with those immunized with TSo alone. This protection was associated with a large decrease in the number of brain cysts compared with the number found in naive mice infected orally with a sublethal dose of T. gondii 76K cysts. Further studies, using well-defined T. gondii proteins which are known to induce both mucosal and systemic immune responses, are needed to confirm the value of CT in the enhancement of protection against oral toxoplasmosis.
