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

Generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA) are exosomes released from engineered Gram-negative bacteria and represent an attractive vaccine platform for the delivery of the O-Antigen (OAg), recognized as the key target for protective immunity against several pathogens such as Shigella. Shigella is a major cause of disease in Low- and Middle-Income countries and the development of a vaccine needs to deal with its large serotypic diversity. All S. flexneri serotypes, except serotype 6, share a conserved OAg backbone, corresponding to serotype Y. Here, a GMMA-producing S. flexneri scaffold strain displaying the OAg backbone was engineered with different OAg-modifying enzymes, either individually or in combinations. This strategy rapidly yielded GMMA displaying 12 natural serotypes and 16 novel serotypes expressing multiple epitopes combinations that do not occur in nature. Importantly, a candidate GMMA displaying a hybrid OAg elicited broadly cross-bactericidal antibodies against a large panel of S. flexneri serotypes.
