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

Tolerogenic nanoparticles (NPs) are rapidly being developed as specific immunotherapies to treat autoimmune disease. However, many NP-based therapies conjugate antigen (Ag) directly to the NP posing safety concerns due to antibody binding or require the co-delivery of immunosuppressants to induce tolerance. Here, we developed Ag encapsulated NPs comprised of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) [PLG(Ag)] and investigated the mechanism of action for Ag-specific tolerance induction in an autoimmune model of T helper type 1/17 dysfunction - relapse-remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE). PLG(Ag) completely abrogated disease induction in an organ specific manner, where the spleen was dispensable for tolerance induction. PLG(Ag) delivered intravenously distributed to the liver, associated with macrophages, and recruited Ag-specific T cells. Furthermore, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) was increased on Ag presenting cells and PD-1 blockade lessened tolerance induction. The robust promotion of tolerance by PLG(Ag) without co-delivery of immunosuppressive drugs, suggests that these NPs effectively deliver antigen to endogenous tolerogenic pathways.
