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 order to investigate the mechanism of immunoglobulin E (IgE) elevation in malaria we studies mice infected with asexual blood stages of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi for total IgE and IgE antimalarial antibodies. Multiply infected mice had elevated levels of total as well as malaria-specific IgE in their sera. Sera taken from mice 3 weeks after one infection with P. chabaudi showed no IgE elevation, indicated that prolonged or repeated exposure to the parasite is necessary for the induction of an IgE response, which also is induced independently of previous or simultaneous infection with other pathogens such as helminths.
