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

Influenza outbreaks are a major burden worldwide annually. While seasonal vaccines do provide protection against infection, they are limited in that they need to be updated every year to account for the constantly mutating virus. Recently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating mRNA have seen major success as a vaccine platform for SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we applied LNPs to deliver an mRNA encoding a computationally optimized broadly active (COBRA) influenza immunogen. These COBRA mRNA LNPs induced a broadly active neutralizing antibody response and protection after lethal influenza challenge. To further increase the immunogenicity of the COBRA mRNA LNPs, we combined them with acetalated dextran microparticles encapsulating a STING agonist. Contrary to recent findings, the STING agonist decreased the immunogenicity of the COBRA mRNA LNPs which was likely due to a decrease in mRNA translation as shown in vitro. Overall, this work aids in future selection of adjuvants to use with mRNA LNP vaccines.
