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

Burkholderia cenocepacia causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised patients. Treatment is challenging due to intrinsic antibiotic multiresistance, so vaccination provides an alternative approach. We aimed to identify vaccine candidates using reverse vaccinology and evaluate their efficacy as protein-loaded chitosan: pectin nanoparticles (C:P NPs) in a vaccine model. Applying strict subtractive channels, three proteins were shortlisted: WP_006481710.1 (LY), WP_012493605.1 (KT), and WP_006492970.1 (BD). Proteins were cloned, purified as His-tagged proteins, and loaded onto C:P NPs. Vaccinated mice had significantly higher systemic IgG and mucosal IgA antibody responses and induced IL-6 and IL-17A. 6x-His-LY-CS:P NPs and 6x-His-KT-CS:P NPs vaccines induced TNF-α. Vaccines conferred significant protection against B. cenocepacia intranasal infections. In conclusion, cyclic-di-AMP phosphodiesterase (WP_012493605.1) is a promising vaccine candidate that elicited IgG and IgA antibodies, Th1, Th2, and Th17 cellular immunity in BALB/c mice and protected against B. cenocepacia infection. This provides hope for saving lives of people at high risk of infection.
