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

Elderly individuals are highly susceptible to developing severe outcomes as a result of influenza A virus (IAV) infection. This can be attributed to alterations that span the aged immune system, which also result in reduced responsiveness to the seasonal inactivated vaccine. Given the rapidly increasing number of individuals in this age group, it is imperative that we develop strategies that can better protect this population from IAV-associated disease. Based on our previous findings that the TLR7/8 agonist resiquimod (R848) could efficiently boost responses in the newborn, another population with decreased vaccine responsiveness, we evaluated this adjuvant in an elderly African green monkey (AGM) model. AGM aged 16-24 years old (equivalent to 64-96 in human years) were primed and boosted with inactivated A/PuertoRico/8/1934 (H1N1) (IPR8) alone or directly linked to R848 (IPR8-R848). We observed increases in the level of circulating virus-specific IgM antibody 10 days following primary vaccination in AGM that were vaccinated with IPR8-R848, but not IPR8 alone. In addition, there were significant increases in virus-specific IgG after boosting selectively in the IPR8-R848 vaccinated animals. These findings provide insights into the ability of R848 to modulate the aged immune system in the context of IAV vaccination.
