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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesIn the past, FhSAP-2, an 11.5 kDa recombinant protein belonging to the

methodsRAW264.7 cells were stimulated with mFhSAP-2, and TNFα levels were determined. C57BL/6 mice were immunized with mFhSAP-2 alone or emulsified with Montanide ISA50. Total anti-mFhSAP-2 IgG subtypes, along with their avidity and titers, were measured using ELISA. The T cell proliferation index and levels of CD4+/CD8+ and IFNγ/IL-4 ratios were determined.

resultsIn vitro, mFhSAP-2 induced dose-dependent TNFα production in RAW264.7 cells. In vivo, mice immunized with mFhSAP-2 or mFhSAP-2+ISA50 developed high-avidity IgG2a and IgG2c antibodies at levels that were significantly higher than IgG1 antibody levels. However, the mFhSAP-2+ISA50 formulation induced higher and more homogenous antibody titers than mFhSAP-2, suggesting that an adjuvant may be required to enhance mFhSAP-2 immunogenicity. Immunization with mFhSAP-2+ISA50 also induced significantly higher activated CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratios and IFNγ/IL-4 ratios compared to naïve mice.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that mFhSAP-2 retained its immunogenicity and Th1-polarizing properties, which were enhanced by the Montanide ISA50 adjuvant. The present study highlights the feasibility of inducing Th1-associated immune responses in mice using mFhSAP-2 as an antigen. Further studies are required to assess the potential application of the mFhSAP-2+ISA50 formulation as a vaccine against
