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

Conjugation of CpG to an antigen induces a stronger immune response compared to that of the mixture. This study compares the in vitro immunostimulatory activity of CpG conjugated via either its 5' or 3' end to the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA). CpG modified with an amine at either the 5' or 3' end was conjugated to OVA via a stable bis-aryl hydrazone bond. Similar levels of CpG conjugation to OVA were observed for both conjugates on the basis of the absorbance at 360 nm for the formation of the bis-aryl hydrazone bond, which determined 2.8 ± 0.3 CpGs linked per OVA. Both the 5' and 3' CpG-OVA conjugates had similar size-exclusion chromatography elution profiles. The immunostimulatory properties of the conjugates were determined by dendritic cells (DCs) and T-cells isolated from mice. The activation of DCs was determined by the upregulation of activation markers CD86 and CD40. T-cells were co-cultured with stimulated DCs, and the immunogenicity was determined by measuring T-cell proliferation and interferon γ production. Both the CpG 5'- and 3'-linked conjugates induced the same level (
