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

Nucleic acid vaccines have grown in importance over the past several years, with the development of new approaches remaining a focus. We describe a lipid nanoparticle-formulated DNA (DNA-LNP) formulation which induces robust innate and adaptive immunity with similar serological potency to mRNA-LNPs and adjuvanted protein. Using an influenza hemagglutinin (HA)-encoding construct, we show that priming with our HA DNA-LNP demonstrated stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-dependent upregulation and activation of migratory dendritic cell (DC) subpopulations. HA DNA-LNP induced superior antigen-specific CD8
