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

backgroundAllergen-specific immunotherapy is generally accepted as the only causal therapy for allergic rhinitis. Up to now there has been a dogma in immunotherapy for inhalation allergies that at least allergen components are necessary for effective therapy. This dogma could, however, be swayed by current results of effective immunotherapy without allergens. Virus-like particles (VLP) represent a novel and interesting aspect for immunotherapy for inhalation allergies.

aimInitial experiences with successful immunotherapy without allergens are available. This article describes the currently available clinical experiences with bacteriophage VLPs filled with oligonucleotides which contain CpG motifs with tumor antigens on the surface for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

resultsVaccination with VLPs was found to be well tolerated, immunogenic and effective for prophylactic treatment of various infections. Bacteriophage VLPs filled with CpG motifs with tumor antigens on the surface led clinically to an induction of specific T-cells in tumor patients and were successfully implemented as adjuvants during prophylactic vaccinations.

conclusionThe VLP technique in combination with the use of CpG motifs could contribute to the causal treatment of complex diseases, such as malignancies, autoimmune diseases and allergies.
