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

A number of subunit-based vaccine candidates have recently begun to erode the exclusive position of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), which gives unpredictable and highly variable protection against tuberculosis. In this paper we investigated the protective capacity of the 19,000 MW and 38,000 MW glyco-lipoproteins of M. tuberculosis expressed by recombinant vaccinia viruses in a mouse Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection model. Both proteins were expressed at high levels by recombinant vaccinia-infected cells. In addition, two inoculations of C57B1/6 mice with either recombinant vaccinia virus significantly reduced the bacterial counts in the lungs of M. tuberculosis H37Rv-infected mice, when compared with the group infected with control virus. This is the first report of protection against tuberculous infection using recombinant vaccinia viruses with results that suggest that secreted glyco-lipoproteins in conjunction with the vaccinia vector represent suitable candidates for further vaccine-related studies.
