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

Poly(gamma-glutamic acid) (gamma-PGA) nanoparticles (NPs) have previously been reported as an efficient antigen delivery system with adjuvant activity. In this study, the gene expression in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) treated with gamma-PGA NPs was examined by oligonucleotide microarray analysis and compared with that in cells treated with other adjuvants. The gene expression of proinflammatory chemokines, cytokines, and costimulatory molecules was upregulated considerably in DCs treated with gamma-PGA NPs. The upregulation pattern was similar to that in DCs treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) but not to that in DCs treated with unparticulate gamma-PGA. The activation of DCs by gamma-PGA NPs was confirmed by real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) analysis of genes related to Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. The effect of gamma-PGA NPs on DCs was not annihilated by treatment with polymyxin B, an inhibitor of LPS. Furthermore, the immunization of mice with gamma-PGA NPs carrying ovalbumin (OVA) as an antigen significantly induced antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells and antigen-specific production of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and gamma interferon from the cells. Such activities of gamma-PGA NPs were more potent than those obtained with immunization with OVA plus aluminum hydroxide or OVA plus complete Freund's adjuvant. These results suggest that gamma-PGA NPs induce a CD8(+) T-cell response by activating innate immunity in a fashion different from that of LPS. Thus, gamma-PGA NPs may be an attractive candidate to be developed further as a vaccine adjuvant.
