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

A new vaccine formulated with the Chlamydia muridarum native major outer membrane protein (nMOMP) and amphipols was assessed in an intranasal (i.n.) challenge mouse model. nMOMP was trapped either in amphipol A8-35 (nMOMP/A8-35) or in A8-35 conjugated with Resiquimod (nMOMP/Resiq-A8-35), a TLR7/8 agonist added as adjuvant. The effects of free Resiquimod and/or additional adjuvants, Montanide ISA 720 (TLR independent) and CpG-1826 (TLR9 agonist), were also evaluated. Immunization with nMOMP/A8-35 alone administered i.n. was used as negative adjuvant-control group, whereas immunizations with C. muridarum elementary bodies (EBs) and MEM buffer, administered i.n., were used as positive and negative controls, respectively. Vaccinated mice were challenged i.n. with C. muridarum and changes in body weight, lungs weight and recovery of Chlamydia from the lungs were evaluated. All the experimental groups showed protection when compared with the negative control group. Resiquimod alone produced weak humoral and cellular immune responses, but both Montanide and CpG-1826 showed significant increases in both responses. The addition of CpG-1826 alone switched immune responses to be Th1-biased. The most robust protection was elicited in mice immunized with the three adjuvants and conjugated Resiquimod. Increased protection induced by the Resiquimod covalently linked to A8-35, in the presence of Montanide and CpG-1826 was established based on a set of parameters: (1) the ability of the antibodies to neutralize C. muridarum; (2) the increased proliferation of T-cells in vitro accompanied by higher production of IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-17; (3) the decreased body weight loss over the 10 days after challenge; and (4) the number of IFUs recovered from the lungs at day 10 post challenge. In conclusion, a vaccine formulated with the C. muridarum nMOMP bound to amphipols conjugated with Resiquimod enhances protective immune responses that can be further improved by the addition of Montanide and CpG-1826.
