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

In experimental schistosomiasis, sera of mice multiply vaccinated with radiation-attenuated cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni passively transfer resistance against cercarial challenge to naive mice. To further characterize these sera, we tested their protective capacities in two mouse strains (C57BL/6J and CBA/J) and compared the antigen-specific isotype compositions of the different protective sera by means of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. By using an array of purified schistosomal antigens, the patterns of antibody titers and isotypes differed for each experimental group and antigen. In the most-protective C57BL/6J sera, high levels of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), IgG2a, and IgG2b bound to heat shock protein 70 and the integral membrane protein Sm23, whereas recognition of these antigens by less-protective CBA/J sera was lower. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) was recognized predominantly by IgM antibodies of all vaccinated groups, and a significant portion of this response was directed against carbohydrate epitopes. Antibodies specific for triosephosphate isomerase, paramyosin, and Sm32 (hemoglobinase) were present in less-protective sera and thus seem less relevant for passive transfer of resistance. The results of this study suggest a contribution of IgG antibodies specific for heat shock protein 70 and Sm23, and possibly a contribution of GST-specific IgM antibodies, to the protective effect of sera from C57BL/6J mice vaccinated with irradiated cercariae.
