Interleukin-2 shows high adjuvanticity for an inactivated vaccine against duck Tembusu virus disease.
Article in Poultry science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Currently, the widely used vaccine against duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) disease is inactivated vaccine which, however, facing the limits of large inoculation dose, short immunization period, and incomplete effectiveness. Access to efficient adjuvants aiding for DTMUV inactivated vaccine seems to be of critical importance. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) was reported to induce a persistent expansion of effector T cells and could be a promising molecular adjuvant for many kinds of vaccines. In this study, the efficacy of duck interleukin (dIL)-2 as an adjuvant for a DTMUV inactivated vaccine was evaluated. Fifty-five Pekin ducks were divided into 5 groups and intramuscularly administered with 5 batches of vaccines at 42 D (A: DTUMV + dIL-2; B: 1/2DTUMV + dIL-2; C: DTUMV; D: 1/2DTUMV and E: PBS), respectively, and received the second vaccination 2 wk later. Fifty-six days after immunization, 6 ducks from each group were randomly selected to conduct a challenge protection test. Antibody titers and cytokine responses were detected to assess humoral and cellular immune responses in serum of inoculated ducks by hemagglutination inhibition and ELISA, respectively; virus isolation and RT-PCR method were used in immunity protective test. Our results showed that dIL-2 exerted an enhanced effect on the vaccine while reducing the dose of inoculated antigen highlighting high adjuvanticity of IL-2. The vaccines supplemented with IL-2 induced a higher level of antibodies and higher percentage of inhibition values than inactivated vaccines without IL-2 to a significant extent. The production level of IFN-α, IFN-γ, and IL-6 genes were elevated, enhancing both humoral and cellular responses. Furthermore, it provided higher protection after virus challenge. Therefore, IL-2 can be considered as a potential adjuvant for inactivated vaccine against DTMUV disease.
