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

The nucleoprotein (NP) of influenza viruses is highly conserved and therefore has become one of the major targets of current universal influenza vaccine (UIV) studies. In this study, the recombinant nucleoprotein (NP) of the A/PR/8/34 (H1N1) influenza virus strain was expressed using an Escherichia coli (E. coli) expression system and then purified as a candidate UIV. The NP protein was administered intranasally or intraperitoneally twice at 3-week intervals to female BALB/c mice in combination with C48/80 adjuvant. Then, the mice were challenged with homologous or heterologous influenza viruses at a lethal dose 3 weeks after the last immunization. The results showed that the serum IgG titers of all of the mice immunized with NP reached a higher level and the protection provided by NP vaccine against the homologous virus depended on the administered dosage and adjuvant. In addition, immunization with 100 μg NP in combination with C48/80 adjuvant could provide good cross-protection against heterologous H9N2 avian influenza viruses. This study indicated that NP as a candidate antigen of UIV immunized intranasally could effectively induce mucosal and cell-mediated immunity, with the potential to control epidemics caused by the appearance of new emerging influenza viruses.
