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

Four synthetic peptides bearing dominant CD4+ T-cell epitopes of the 19,000 and 38,000 MW proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were used to provoke a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction in mice previously immunized with recombinant 19,000 and 38,000 MW proteins. It was found that an effective enhancement of the DTH reaction was obtained if the peptides were administered as a complex with M. tuberculosis hsp 70 protein. The increase in reactivity was not obtained when hsp 70 and peptide were co-injected at the same site, but not in complex, or when the specific peptide was displaced from the complex by an irrelevant peptide with high capacity to bind hsp 70. One of the antigenic peptides whose capacity to complex with hsp 70 is low, failed to show the enhancement of DTH when injected together with hsp 70.
