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

C57BL/10 and C57BL/6 mice (H-2b); B10 congenic mice with f, k, p, q, r, and s H-2 haplotypes; B10 mice with recombinant g2, o2, a, h2, h4, i5, and bq1 H-2 haplotypes; and B6 mice with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) mutant bm1 and bm13 (class I) and bm12 (class II) haplotypes were infected intravenously with 4 x 10(6) CFU of live Mycobacterium bovis BCG and examined by Western immunoblot analysis for serum antibodies against BCG culture filtrate antigens, following a boost injection with live BCG or with BCG culture filtrate. Parental B10 and B6 mice reacted very intensely with three culture filtrate protein bands with estimated molecular masses of 37, 38, and 40 kDa. Response against the 40-kDa protein was stronger following a boost injection with live BCG than following a boost with culture filtrate. Sera from mice with f, p, i5, bm1, and bm13 haplotypes reacted strongly, with both the 37-38- and 40-kDa antigens, and sera from mice with q and bq1 haplotypes showed a somewhat weaker reaction. Sera from mice with r, s, and bm12 haplotypes reacted against the 37-38-kDa antigen but not against the 40-kDa antigen, and sera from mice with the h2 haplotype reacted only with the 40-kDa antigen but not with the 37-38-kDa antigen. Sera from mice with the k, g2, o2, a, and h4 haplotypes showed, at most, a very weak reaction with the 37-38- and 40-kDa antigens. These results demonstrate that MHC genes profoundly affect the antibody repertoire used against culture filtrate antigens in mice infected with live M. bovis BCG. In particular, as shown in mice with the recombinant H-2 haplotype and in class II mutant bm12 mice, the I-A heterodimer controls the recognition of the immunodominant 40-kDa antigen. By using crossed immunoelectrophoresis, this 40-kDa antigen was identified as antigen 88 according to the reference system of Closs et al. for BCG antigens.
