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

purposeAntigen-Expressing Immunostimulatory Liposomes (AnExILs) represent a novel DNA vaccination platform based on the production of protein antigens from DNA templates inside liposomes mediated by an in vitro transcription and translation (IVTT) mix. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of AnExILs on different dendritic cells (DCs) models and to better understand the role of the different components of this formulation on its adjuvanticity.

methodsThe effect of β-galactosidase-expressing AnExILs on maturation and particle uptake by murine DC cell line, fresh human monocyte-derived DCs or human dermal DCs in skin explants was investigated and compared to the effects of either plain liposomes or IVTT mix alone.

resultsAnExILs induced efficient DC chemotaxis and promoted up-regulation of maturation markers on murine DCs, due to the presence of IVTT in the formulation. Furthermore, the amount of active βGal associated with DCs was higher for AnExILs than for free βGal expressed in IVTT or βGal encapsulated into non-adjuvanted liposomes. Most interestingly, the same trend was observed with human DCs.

conclusionsBoth IVTT mix and liposomal vehicles were shown to be key components of the AnExIL formulation responsible for its adjuvanticity. AnExILs combine antigen production, adjuvanticity and delivery in one system, and can efficiently activate both murine and human DCs.
