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

An inactivated oral enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) vaccine against ETEC diarrhea was given to 25 adult Swedish volunteers. The vaccine consisted of formalin-killed E. coli bacteria expressing the most common colonization factor antigens (CFAs), i.e., CFA/I, -II, and -IV, and recombinantly produced cholera B subunit (CTB). Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody responses in intestinal lavage fluid to CTB and CFAs were determined and compared with corresponding responses in stool extracts and serum as well as with IgA antibody-secreting cell (ASC) responses in peripheral blood. Two doses of vaccine induced significant IgA responses to the different CFAs in lavage fluid in 61 to 87% of the vaccinees and in stool in 38 to 81% of them. The most frequent responses were seen against CFA/I. The magnitudes of the antibody responses against CTB and CFA/I in stool correlated significantly (CTB, P < 0.01; CFA/I, P < 0. 05) with those in intestinal lavage. Intestinal lavage responses against CFAs were best reflected by the ASC responses, with the sensitivity of the ASC assay being 80 to 85%, followed by stool (sensitivity of 50 to 88%) and serum antibody (sensitivity of 7 to 65%) analyses. CTB-specific immune responses were seen in >90% of the vaccinees in all assays.
