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

The development of Salmonella vaccine vectors has been hindered by both the requirement for multiple doses to induce immune responses and a lack of plasmid stability. Direct comparisons of different promoter systems with the same antigen are necessary to address these important issues. We have previously described an AroA- AroD- deletion mutant of Salmonella typhimurium (GID101) which expresses the gene encoding the Leishmania major promastigote surface glycoprotein gp63 (GID101). While this construct provided significant protection against L. major challenge to highly susceptible BALB/c mice, this required at least two oral doses. We report here the use of two different inducible promoters, the nirB and osmC promoters, to improve vaccine efficacy. These constructs (termed GID105 and GID106, respectively) expressed gp63 in vitro under inducible conditions and colonized BALB/c mice after oral administration. GID105 demonstrated greater plasmid stability in vitro and in vivo than did either GID106 or GID101, which expresses gp63 constitutively. Spleen and lymph node cells from mice immunized with a single oral dose of GID105 proliferated in vitro in response to L. major and secreted gamma interferon, whereas cells from mice given the other constructs did not. Mice immunized with a single oral dose of GID1O5 or GID106 developed significantly smaller lesions upon challenge with L. major, whereas mice administered GID101 did not. Mice administered GID105 also showed considerable resistance to Leishmania donovani infection. These data provide a direct comparison of promoter systems and demonstrate that the use of inducible promoters such as the nirB promoter allows a considerable improvement over the previous vaccine construct in terms of protection against infection.
