Precipitating Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibodies and antimicrobial therapy in cystic fibrosis patients.

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
Forty patients with cystic fibrosis were studied bacteriologically and serologically. Precipitating Pseudomonas aeruginosa antibodies were monitored by crossed-immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) in order to evaluate the possibility of preventing chronic colonization by Pseudomonas aeruginosa by cycles of antimicrobial therapy. Sputum or pharyngeal aspirate and serum samples from all patients were analyzed by means of spread on selective media and CIE, respectively. Significant differences in the number of precipitins were obtained: noncolonized and intermittently colonized patients had no precipitins, whereas the number of precipitins in the chronically colonized patients varied from 11 to 44. An increase in the number of precipitins could be a good marker for initiation of therapy with antimicrobial agents that are either active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa or able to inhibit the release of virulence factors.
