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

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines has provided large-scale immune protection to the public. To elicit a robust immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infections, antigens produced by mRNAs encoding SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein need to be efficiently delivered and presented to antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells (DCs). As concurrent innate immune stimulation can facilitate the antigen presentation process, a library of non-nucleotide STING agonist-derived amino lipids (SALs) was synthesized and formulated into LNPs for mRNA delivery. SAL12 lipid nanoparticles (SAL12-LNPs) were identified as most potent in delivering mRNAs encoding the Spike glycoprotein (S) of SARS-CoV-2 while activating the STING pathway in DCs. Two doses of SAL12 S-LNPs by intramuscular immunization elicited potent neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in mice.
