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 natural adjuvant properties of bacterial ghosts (BGs) lie within the presence of intact pathogen-associated molecular patterns on their surface. BGs can improve the direct delivery, natural processing and presentation of target antigens within dendritic cells (DCs). Moreover, sensitization of human DCs by cancer cell lysate (oncolysate)-loaded BGs in the presence of IFN-α and GM-CSF enhanced DC maturation as indicated by an increased expression of maturation markers and co-stimulatory molecules, higher production of IL-12p70 and stimulation of significantly increased proliferation of both autologous CD4
