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

IgA subclass distribution of antibodies against capsular polysaccharide (PS) of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was studied in saliva and serum samples of children vaccinated with two (n = 58) or three doses (n = 53) of Hib vaccine. One month after the second dose of Hib conjugate vaccine, at 7 months old, 40% of the children had IgA1 and 41% had IgA2 anti-Hib PS antibodies in saliva. One month after the third dose, at 15-25 months old, IgA1 was the predominating subclass; 72% of the children had IgA1, 26% had IgA2 anti-Hib PS in saliva. The mean concentration of IgA1 anti-Hib PS, expressed as optical density (OD) values, was significantly higher after three doses (OD 80.7) than after two doses (OD 18.9). The mean concentration of IgA2 did not change significantly after the third dose (OD 23.8 after two doses, OD 18.1 after three doses). In serum, IgA1 anti-Hib PS predominated both after two (17% had IgA1, none had IgA2) and three doses (72% had IgA1, 4% had IgA2) of Hib vaccine. In conclusion, both IgA1 and IgA2 anti-Hib PS were found in saliva of immunized children after two doses of Hib conjugate vaccine, whereas the third vaccine dose induced a shift towards IgA1 anti-Hib PS dominance in saliva.
