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

Insoluble aluminum salts such as aluminum (oxy)hydroxide are commonly used as vaccine adjuvants. Recently, there is evidence suggesting that the adjuvant activity of aluminum salt-based materials is tightly related to their physicochemical properties, including nanometer-scale size, shape with long aspect ratio, and low degree of crystallinity. Herein, for the first time, the bicontinuous reverse microemulsion (RM) technique was utilized to synthesize stick-like monodisperse aluminum (oxy)hydroxide nanoparticles with a long aspect ratio of ∼10, length of ∼80 nm, and low degree of crystallinity (denoted as Al-nanosticks). Moreover, the relationship between the physicochemical properties of Al-nanosticks and the bicontinuous RM was discussed. Compared to the commercial Alhydrogel, which contains micrometer-scale aluminum oxyhydroxide particular aggregates with moderate degree of crystallinity, the Al-nanosticks are more effective in adsorbing and delivering antigens (e.g., ovalbumin, OVA) into antigen-presenting cells, activating inflammasomes, and potentiating OVA-specific antibody responses in a mouse model. It is concluded that the aluminum (oxy)hydroxide nanosticks synthesized in the bicontinuous RM are promising new aluminum salt-based vaccine adjuvants.
