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 ability to mount accelerated and efficient mucosal immune responses is critically important to prevent the establishment of many infections. Secretion of immunoglobulin A (IgA) is a key component in this first line of defense, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are still not completely understood. We have evaluated different routes of immunization and examined the requirements for IgA induction in the airway mucosa. We demonstrate that subcutaneous priming with a recombinant antigen in a T helper (Th)17-inducing adjuvant followed by airway boosting promotes high and sustained levels of IgA in the lungs. This response is associated with germinal center formation in the lung-draining lymph nodes. The lung IgA response is dependent on Th17 cells and absent if interleukin (IL)-17 is depleted or when priming with vaccines inducing only Th1 or Th2 responses. We used intravascular staining to demonstrate that IgA+ B cells and chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6)+Th17 cells are recruited to the lung parenchyma after the airway booster immunization. Once recruited to the lung parenchyma, the Th17 cells transform into resident lymphocytes that persist in the lung tissue for at least 10 weeks. Here, they facilitate the accelerated recruitment of T and B cells resulting in an accelerated IgA recall response to a second airway booster immunization.
