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

The treatment efficacy of a nicotine vaccine largely relies on its ability to induce high titers of nicotine-specific antibodies. Due to its strong immune-potentiating effects, aluminum salt (Alum) has been commonly used as an adjuvant in various nicotine vaccine formulations. In this study, we attempted to improve the immunological performance of a hybrid nanoparticle-based nicotine vaccine (NanoNicVac) by co-administering it with Alum. It was found that Alum severely restricted the release of NanoNicVac at the site of injection. Moreover, Alum damaged the hybrid structure of the vaccine. In the animal trial, mice immunized with NanoNicVac alone achieved an anti-nicotine IgG titer of 3.5 ± 0.2 × 10
