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

backgroundWe aimed at constructing Lactococcus lactis strains expressing HPV-16 recombinant E7 (rE7) oncoprotein and examining its overproduction ability followed by optimizing batch and fed-batch fermentations. Thereafter, in order to assess the immunogenicity of recombinant L. lactis cells, C57BL/6 mice were immunized by oral gavage.

resultsThe results suggested that recombinant strains harboring optiE7 and E7 genes produced a maximum of 4.84 and 1.91 μg/mL of rE7 in static flask experiments, while the corresponding strains gave a maximum yield of 35.49 and 14.24 μg/mL in batch experiments, respectively. Fed-batch study indicated that the concentration of rE7 protein significantly increased after feeding yeast extract plus GM17 medium. The rE7 production of the best performing strains was 2.09- and 1.48-fold higher than that of the strains during the batch fermentation. Furthermore, biomass levels were 1.98- and 1.92-fold higher than those in batch cultivation. Oral immunization of C57BL/6 mice with recombinant L. lactis produced significant specific IgG and IgA antibody responses in serum and vaginal fluids, respectively. Our outcomes suggest that vaccination with L. lactis expressing rE7 can generate significant protective effects against E7-expressing cell line. Also, our study provides evidence that the presence of large amounts of E7-specific CD4

conclusionsWe conclude that optimization of culture conditions along with recombinant protein expression can highly stimulate both specific humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in mice after oral immunization. These promising results represent a step towards fast-tracking a vaccine against HPV-16-associated cervical cancer.
