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

Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly effective antigen-presenting cells that shape immune responses. Vaccines that deliver antigen to the DCs can harness their power. DC surface lectins recognize glycans not typically present on host tissue to facilitate antigen uptake and presentation. Vaccines that target these surface lectins should offer improved antigen delivery, but their efficacy will depend on how lectin targeting influences the T cell subtypes that result. We examined how antigen structure influences uptake and signaling from the C-type lectin DC-SIGN (dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin or CD209). Virus-like particles (VLPs) were engineered from bacteriophage Qβ to present an array of mannoside ligands. The VLPs were taken up by DCs and efficiently trafficked to endosomes. The signaling that ensued depended on the ligand displayed on the VLP: only those particles densely functionalized with an aryl mannoside, Qβ-Man
