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

Many vaccines require adjuvants to enhance immunogenicity, but there are few safe and effective intradermal (i.d.) adjuvants. Murine studies have validated the potency of laser illumination of skin as an adjuvant for i.d. vaccination with advantages over traditional adjuvants. We report a pilot clinical trial of low-power, continuous-wave, near-infrared laser adjuvant treatment, representing the first human trial of the safety, tolerability, and cutaneous immune cell trafficking changes produced by the laser adjuvant. In this trial we demonstrated a maximum tolerable energy dose of 300 J/cm
