Crosslinked chitosan microparticles as a safe and efficient DNA carrier for intranasal vaccination against cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Article in Vaccine: X, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Intranasal (i.n.) vaccination with adjuvant-free plasmid DNA encoding the leishmanial antigen LACK (LACK DNA) has shown to induce protective immunity against both cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in rodents. In the present work, we sought to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of d,l-glyceraldehyde cross-linked chitosan microparticles (CCM) as a LACK DNA non-intumescent mucoadhesive delivery system. CCM with 5 μm of diameter was prepared and adsorbed with a maximum of 2.4 % (w/w) of DNA with no volume alteration. Histological analysis of mouse nostrils instilled with LACK DNA / CCM showed microparticles to be not only mucoadherent but also mucopenetrant, inducing no local inflammation. Systemic safeness was confirmed by the observation that two nasal instillations one week apart did not alter the numbers of bronchoalveolar cells or blood eosinophils; did not alter ALT, AST and creatinine serum levels; and did not induce cutaneous hypersensitivity.
