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

We have assessed the immune-regulatory and adjuvant activities of a synthetic glycolipid, ABX196, a novel analog of the parental compound α-GalCer. As expected, ABX196 demonstrated a measurable and significant adjuvant effect in mice and monkeys with no appreciable toxicity at the doses used to promote immune responses. We performed a phase I/II dose escalation study of ABX196 in healthy volunteers, with the objectives to evaluate its safety profile, as well as its ability to be utilized as an adjuvant in the context of a prophylactic vaccine against hepatitis B. ABX196 was administered at three doses: 0.2, 0.4, and 2.0μg, in 44 subjects. In all the individuals injected with ABX196, peripheral blood NKT cells displayed hallmarks of activation, and 45% of them had measurable circulating IFN-γ 24h after the first administration. More importantly, the addition of ABX196 to the very poorly immunogenic HBs antigen resulted in protective anti-HBs antibody responses in majority of patients, demonstrating the adjuvant properties of ABX196 in human. Further analysis of the cohort of subjects receiving ABX196 with HBs antigen also indicates that a single injection appears sufficient to provide protection. A limited set of adverse events linked to the systemic delivery of ABX196 and access to the liver, is discussed in the context of formulation and the need to limit transport of ABX196 to secondary lymphoid tissues for maximal efficacy (Eudra-CT 2012-001566-15).
