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

Cancer vaccines that make use of tumor antigens represent a promising therapeutic strategy by stimulating immune responses against tumors to generate long-term anti-tumor immunity. However, vaccines have shown limited clinical efficacy due to inefficient delivery. In this study, we focus on vaccine delivery assisted by nanocomplexes for cancer immunotherapy. Nanocomplex-mediated vaccination can efficiently deliver nucleic acids encoding neoantigens to lymphoid tissues and antigen-presenting cells. Polyethylenimine (PEI) was conjugated with farnesylthiosalicylic acid (FTS) to form micelles. Subsequent interaction with nucleic acids led to formation of polymer/nucleic acid nanocomplexes of well-controlled structure. Tumor transfection via FTS-PEI was much more effective than that by PEI, other PEI derivatives, or naked DNA. Significant numbers of transfected cells were also observed in draining lymph nodes (LNs).
