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

Employing monoclonal antibodies to target vaccine antigens to different immune cells within lymph nodes where adaptive immunity is initiated can provide a mechanism to fine-tune the magnitude or the quality of immune responses. However, studying the effects of different targeting antibodies head-to-head is challenging due to the lack of a feasible method that allows rapid screening of multiple antibodies for their impact on immunogenicity. Here self-assembling ferritin nanoparticles are prepared that co-display vaccine antigens and the Fc-binding domain of Staphylococcal protein A, allowing rapid attachment of soluble antibodies to the nanoparticle surface. Using this tunable system, ten antibodies targeting different immune cell subsets are screened, with targeting to Clec9a associated with higher serum antibody titers after immunization. Immune cell targeting using ferritin nanoparticles with anti-Clec9a antibodies drives concentrated deposition of antigens within germinal centers, boosting germinal center formation and robust antibody responses. However, the capacity to augment humoral immunity is antigen-dependent, with significant boosting observed for prototypic ovalbumin immunogens but reduced effectiveness with the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. This work provides a rapid platform for screening targeting antibodies, which will accelerate mechanistic insights into optimal delivery strategies for nanoparticle-based vaccines to maximize protective immunity.
