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

The immune memory imprinted during an individual's initial influenza exposure (influenza imprinting) has long-lasting effects on the host's response to subsequent influenza infections and vaccinations. Here, we investigate how different influenza virus imprinting impacts the immune responses to subunit, inactivated virus, and protein-based nanoparticle vaccines in Balb/c mice. Our results indicated a phylogenetic distance-dependent effect of influenza imprinting on subunit hemagglutinin (HA) or formalin-inactivated (FI) virus vaccine immunizations. Aichi (H3N2, group 2) HA (HA3) or FI-Aichi vaccination in mice imprinted with closely related Phili (H3N2) triggered significant Aichi-specific HAI antibody and balanced HA3-specific Th1/Th2 antibody immune responses, resulting in robust protection against Aichi. In contrast, HA3 vaccination in PR8 (H1N1, group 1) imprinted mice (PR8-2HA3) induced Th2-leaning responses comparable to those observed in mice without prior influenza immune imprinting (PBS-2HA3). However, subsequent heterosubtypic infections and vaccinations eliminated such effects on antibody subtype profiles. Nonetheless, initial virus exposure established a long-lasting capacity to produce HAI antibody responses against the imprinting strains. Moreover, Phili imprinting followed by HA3/NP nanocluster vaccination protected mice from Aichi infections and induced enhanced cross-reactive immunity. Our study highlights the significance of considering an individual's influenza exposure history when designing and evaluating the effectiveness of influenza vaccines.
