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

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection in the respiratory tract leads to pneumonitis in immunocompromised hosts without available vaccine. Considering cytomegalovirus (CMV) mainly invades through the respiratory tract, CMV-specific pulmonary mucosal vaccine development that provides a long-lasting protection against CMV challenge gains our attention. In this study, N-terminal domain of GP96 (GP96-NT) was used as a mucosal adjuvant to enhance the induction of pulmonary-resident CD8 T cells elicited by MCMV glycoprotein B (gB) vaccine. Mice were intranasally co-immunized with 50 μg pgB and equal amount of pGP96-NT vaccine 4 times at 2-week intervals, and then i.n. challenged with MCMV at 16 weeks after the last immunization. Compared with pgB immunization alone, co-immunization with pgB/pGP96-NT enhanced a long-lasting protection against MCMV pneumonitis by significantly improved pneumonitis pathology, enhanced bodyweight, reduced viral burdens and increased survival rate. Moreover, the increased CD8 T cells were observed in lung but not spleen from pgB/pGP96-NT co-immunized mice. The increments of pulmonary CD8 T cells might be mainly due to non-circulating pulmonary-resident CD8 T-cell subset expansion but not circulating CD8 T-cell populations that home to inflammation site upon MCMV challenge. Finally, the deterioration of MCMV pneumonitis by depletion of pulmonary site-specific CD8 T cells in mice that were pgB/pGP96-NT co-immunization might be a clue to interpret the non-circulating pulmonary-resident CD8 T subset expansion. These data might uncover a promising long-lasting prophylactic vaccine strategy against MCMV-induced pneumonitis.
