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

There is intense interest in the design and use of vaccine strategies against influenza to enhance protective immune responses in the elderly. To address the need for improved influenza vaccines for the aged, two inflammatory adjuvants, Imject(®) alum (a stimulator of the Nod-like receptor, Nalp3) and poly I:C (a toll-like receptor type 3 ligand), were used during vaccination with novel influenza virus-like particles (VLP). Adult (4 month old) or aged (24 month old) mice were vaccinated with VLPs alone or in combination with adjuvant. VLP-vaccinated adult mice were protected from a lethal influenza virus challenge without the use of either adjuvant. In contrast, only aged mice that were vaccinated with VLPs plus adjuvant survived challenge, whereas ∼33% of the mice vaccinated with VLP only survived challenge. Mice vaccinated with adjuvant only did not survive challenge despite similar levels of activation of CD11b(+)/CD11c(+) dendritic cells in the lungs. The protection was not associated with HAI titers or HA specific CD8(+) T cells, since both adjuvants boosted the VLP-induced serum HAI titers and CD8(+) responses in adult mice, but not aged mice. Influenza VLPs used in combination with two different inflammatory adjuvants during vaccination allow for the immune system to overcome the deficiency in the aged immune system to influenza virus infection.
