Cytoadhesins of Mycoplasma hominis.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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.
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 mechanism of Mycoplasma hominis adherence to host cells of the urogenital tract was investigated with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against antigenic surface-localized polypeptides P50, P60, P80, and P100 of cytoadherent M. hominis FBG. A cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was established allowing quantification of cytoadherent mycoplasmas detected by one of the following MAbs: four MAbs directed against P100 (molecular weight, about 100,000), three MAbs against P80, one MAb against P60, and three MAbs against P50. MAb binding to one of the surface proteins resulted in a decrease of mycoplasmal adherence to HeLa cells. To exclude the thesis that this is caused by nonspecific blocking of adherence, P100 and P50 were purified by affinity chromatography and tested instead of intact mycoplasmas in the cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for cytoadherence. Both proteins bound to the surface of the eukaryotic cells. MAb binding to single epitopes of these proteins resulted in inhibition of protein adherence. These experiments strongly suggest that of the four surface-localized proteins at least P100 and P50 are adhesins of M. hominis FBG.
