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

Purpose: Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) derived from Gram-negative bacteria naturally serve as a heterologous nano-engineering platform, functioning as effective multi-use nanovesicles for diagnostics, vaccines, and treatments against pathogens. To apply refined OMVs for human theranostic applications, we developed naturally exposed receptor-binding domain (RBD) OMVs grafted with antigen 43 as a minimal modular system targeting angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Methods: We constructed Results: Our viral mimetic Ag43β700_RBD OMVs had an impact on the theranostic studies: (i) angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 blockade assay, (ii) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the OMVs, and (iii) intracellular uptake and neutralization assay. As serodiagnostic surrogates, Ag43β700_RBD OMVs were applied to ACE2 blockade and OMVs-ELISA assay to quantify neutralization antibodies (nAbs). They reduced the robust immune response in vitro, especially IL-6 and IL-1β. Experiments in mice, Ag43β700_RBD OMVs was successfully proven to be safe and effective; they produced a detectable level of nAbs with 39-58% neutralisation and reduced viral titres in the lungs and brain without weight loss. Conclusion: The developed viral mimetic Ag43β700_RBD OMVs may therefore be applied as a nanovesicle-theranostic platform for further emerging infectious disease-related diagnosis, vaccination, and treatment.
