Immune profiling of age and adjuvant-specific activation of human blood mononuclear cells in vitro.
Article in Communications biology, 2024. 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
Vaccination reduces morbidity and mortality due to infections, but efficacy may be limited due to distinct immunogenicity at the extremes of age. This raises the possibility of employing adjuvants to enhance immunogenicity and protection. Early IFNγ production is a hallmark of effective vaccine immunogenicity in adults serving as a biomarker that may predict effective adjuvanticity. We utilized mass cytometry (CyTOF) to dissect the source of adjuvant-induced cytokine production in human blood mononuclear cells (BMCs) from newborns (~39-week-gestation), adults (~18-63 years old) and elders (>65 years of age) after stimulation with pattern recognition receptors agonist (PRRa) adjuvants. Dimensionality reduction analysis of CyTOF data mapped the BMC compartment, elucidated age-specific immune responses and profiled PRR-mediated activation of monocytes and DCs upon adjuvant stimulation. Furthermore, we demonstrated PRRa adjuvants mediated innate IFNγ induction and mapped NK cells as the key source of TLR7/8 agonist (TLR7/8a) specific innate IFNγ responses. Hierarchical clustering analysis revealed age and TLR7/8a-specific accumulation of innate IFNγ producing γδ T cells. Our study demonstrates the application of mass cytometry and cutting-edge computational approaches to characterize immune responses across immunologically distinct age groups and may inform identification of the bespoke adjuvantation systems tailored to enhance immunity in distinct vulnerable populations.
