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

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has long been used in nanoparticle-based drug or vaccine delivery platforms. In this study, nano-nicotine vaccines (NanoNicVac) were PEGylated to different degrees to investigate the impact of PEG on the immunological efficacy of the vaccine. Hybrid nanoparticles with various degrees of PEGylation (2.5%-30%) were assembled. It was found that 30% PEGylation resulted in a hybrid nanoparticle of a compromised core-shell structure. A higher concentration of PEG also led to a slower cellular uptake of hybrid nanoparticles by dendritic cells. However, increasing the quantity of the PEG could effectively reduce nanoparticle aggregation during storage and improve the stability of the hybrid nanoparticles. Subsequently, nicotine vaccines were synthesized by conjugating nicotine haptens to the differently PEGylated hybrid nanoparticles. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, it was found that a nicotine vaccine with 20% PEGylation (NanoNicVac 20.0) was significantly more stable than the vaccines with lower PEGylation. In addition, NanoNicVac 20.0 induced a significantly higher anti-nicotine antibody titer of 3.7 ± 0.6 × 10
