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

Nucleic acid-based adjuvants such as CpG oligonucleotides (CpG ODNs) and poly(I:C) are potential vaccine adjuvants for infectious diseases and cancers. However, the mechanism by which their cell surface receptors promote their uptake into dendritic cells (DCs) and shuttle them to intracellular Toll-like receptors remains to be further investigated. Here, we demonstrated a role for nucleolin, a multifunctional DNA- and RNA-binding protein and a major constituent of the nucleolus, as one of the cell-surface receptors for nucleic acid-based adjuvants. Nucleolin on mouse DC surface bound directly to A-type CpG ODN, B-type CpG ODN, and poly(I:C) and promoted their internalization into cells following DC maturation in vitro. In human DCs, nucleolin also contributed to the binding and internalization of both types of CpG ODNs and subsequent cytokine production. Furthermore, nucleolin played a crucial role in cytokine production and activating antigen-specific antibodies and T cell responses induced by B-type CpG ODN in vivo in mice. Our findings provide valuable information that can help improve the efficacy and safety of these adjuvants.
