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

Type I and type III interferons (IFNs) can promote adaptive immune responses in mice and improve vaccine-induced resistance to viral infections. The adjuvant effect of type III IFN (IFN-λ) specifically boosts mucosal immunity by an indirect mechanism, involving IFN-λ-induced production of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a cytokine that activates immune cells. To date, it remained unclear whether the previously described adjuvant effect of type I IFN (IFN-α/β) would also depend on TSLP and whether type I IFN stimulates different antibody subtypes. Here, we show that after infection with a live attenuated influenza virus, mice lacking functional type I IFN receptors failed to produce normal amounts of virus-specific IgG2c and IgA antibodies. In contrast, mice lacking functional IFN-λ receptors contained normal levels of virus-specific IgG2c but had reduced IgG1 and IgA antibody levels. When applied together with protein antigen, IFN-α stimulated the production of antigen-specific IgA and IgG2c to a greater extent than IgG1, irrespective of whether the mice expressed functional TSLP receptors and irrespective of whether the vaccine was applied by the intranasal or the intraperitoneal route. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the adjuvant activities of type I and type III IFNs are mechanistically distinct.
