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

Nasal vaccines offer advantages in eliciting mucosal immunity, particularly through the induction of dimeric IgA. However, the complex mucosal environment poses challenges in achieving optimal immunogenicity and safety. This study introduced Diprovocim, a TLR2 agonist, as an effective and safe adjuvant for mucosal vaccines. Our results demonstrated that Diprovocim self-assembled into particles of suitable size for mucosal delivery, enhancing antigen phagocytosis of immune cells in both lymph nodes and lungs. After effectively activating the TLR2 signaling pathway, Diprovocim led to a reduced release of inflammatory cytokines in vivo without any tissue damage or weight loss, highlighting its safety profile. In mice, both intramuscular and intranasal immunization with Diprovocim-adjuvanted vaccines induced high titers of systemic antibodies. Higher IgG and IgA antibodies were detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Moreover, Diprovocim enhanced the immunogenicity of ovalbumin (OVA) and recombinant SARS-CoV-2 protein (RFD-Fc) vaccines, achieving higher CD4
