Adjuvant effects of killed Lactobacillus casei DK128 on enhancing T helper type 1 immune responses and the efficacy of influenza vaccination in normal and CD4-deficient mice.
Article in Vaccine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus casei DK128 isolated from fermented vegetable foods was suggested to stimulate innate immune responses. Here, we investigated whether heat-killed DK128 would exhibit adjuvant effects on enhancing the efficacy of influenza vaccination. Immunization of mice with split influenza virus vaccine in the presence of heat-killed DK128 induced significantly higher levels of both IgG1 and IgG2c isotype antibodies than those by vaccine only. A single dose DK128-adjuvanted influenza vaccination conferred higher efficacy of protection, as evidenced by intact lung function, less weight loss, enhanced clearance of lung viral loads, and lower levels of inflammatory cytokines and infiltrates. Immunization of CD4 T cell-knockout (CD4KO) mice with influenza vaccine and DK128, but not with vaccine alone, induced isotype-switched IgG antibodies and protection against lethal challenge in CD4KO mice. The results in this study suggest heat-killed DK128 as a potential vaccine adjuvant, promoting the induction of IgG isotype switching in CD4-deficient condition and enhancing protective efficacy of split influenza vaccination in immunocompromised and immune-competent subjects.
