A Novel C-Type Lectin Receptor-Targeted α-Synuclein-Based Parkinson Vaccine Induces Potent Immune Responses and Therapeutic Efficacy in Mice.
Article in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The progressive accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn) in the brain is widely considered to be causal for the debilitating clinical manifestations of synucleinopathies including, most notably, Parkinson's disease (PD). Immunotherapies, both active and passive, against α-syn have been developed and are promising novel treatment strategies for such disorders. To increase the potency and specificity of PD vaccination, we created the 'Win the Skin Immune System Trick' (WISIT) vaccine platform designed to target skin-resident dendritic cells, inducing superior B and T cell responses. Of the six tested WISIT candidates, all elicited higher immune responses compared to conventional, aluminum adjuvanted peptide-carrier conjugate PD vaccines, in BALB/c mice. WISIT-induced antibodies displayed higher selectivity for α-syn aggregates than those induced by conventional vaccines. Additionally, antibodies induced by two selected candidates were shown to inhibit α-syn aggregation in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. To determine if α-syn fibril formation could also be inhibited in vivo, WISIT candidate type 1 (CW-type 1) was tested in an established synucleinopathy seeding model and demonstrated reduced propagation of synucleinopathy in vivo. Our studies provide proof-of-concept for the efficacy of the WISIT vaccine technology platform and support further preclinical and clinical development of this vaccine candidate.
