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

Synthetic linear peptide chimeras (LPCs(cys+)) show promise as delivery platforms for malaria subunit vaccines. Maximal immune response to LPCs(cys+) in rodent malaria models depends upon formation of cross-linkages to generate homopolymers, presenting challenges for vaccine production. To replicate the immunogenicity of LPCs(cys+) using a recombinant approach, we designed a recombinant LPC (rLPC) based on Plasmodium yoelii circumsporozoite protein-specific sequences of 208 amino acids consisting of four LPC subunits in series. BALB/c or CAF1/J mice were immunized with synthetic or recombinant LPCs. Antibody concentrations, cytokine production and protection against challenge were compared. Recombinant peptide replicated the robust, high avidity antibody responses obtained with the synthetic linear peptide chimera. After in vitro stimulation spleen cells from mice immunized with rLPC or synthetic LPC(cys+) produced gamma interferon and IL-4 suggesting the efficient priming of T cells. Immunization of mice with either recombinant or synthetic LPC(cys+) provided comparable protection against experimental challenge with P. yoelii sporozoites. Recombinant LPCs reproduced the immunogenicity of synthetic LPC(cys+) without requiring polymerization, improving prospects for use as malaria vaccines.
