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

Tuberculosis consistently causes more deaths worldwide annually than any other single pathogen, making new effective vaccines an urgent priority for global public health. Among potential adjuvants, STING-activating cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) uniquely stimulate a cytosolic sensing pathway activated only by pathogens. Recently, we demonstrated that a CDN-adjuvanted protein subunit vaccine robustly protects against tuberculosis infection in mice. In this study, we delineate the mechanistic basis underlying the efficacy of CDN vaccines for tuberculosis. CDN vaccines elicit CD4 T cells that home to lung parenchyma and penetrate into macrophage lesions in the lung. Although CDNs, like other mucosal vaccines, generate B cell-containing lymphoid structures in the lungs, protection is independent of B cells. Mucosal vaccination with a CDN vaccine induces Th1, Th17, and Th1-Th17 cells, and protection is dependent upon both IL-17 and IFN-γ. Single-cell RNA sequencing experiments reveal that vaccination enhances a metabolic state in Th17 cells reflective of activated effector function and implicate expression of
