Rational adjuvant selection for the neonatal period shapes unique and lasting immune polarization in mice.
Article in NPJ vaccines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A major knowledge gap exists in understanding immune effects of adjuvants in early life. As environmental stimuli shape the infant immune system, adjuvants may also influence this process. Using a neonatal mouse model, we investigated the differential effects of adjuvants in neonates vs. adults. Mice were immunized with an adjuvanted hepatitis B vaccine followed by exposure to ovalbumin to determine whether prior immunization alters subsequent heterologous immune responses. Neonatal immunization with a Th2-biased alum-adjuvanted vaccine predisposed mice to develop Th2-biased immunity to subsequent ovalbumin exposures. Conversely, neonatal immunization with a Th1-polarizing CpG-adjuvanted vaccine resulted in preferential priming of Th1-biased heterologous responses. Immunization in adulthood did not alter heterologous immune responses. Early-life immunization modified the ability of bone marrow DCs to prime Th1/Th2 immune responses, suggesting a role for immune training in these antigen agnostic effects. These data suggest that rational adjuvant selection for early-life vaccines may beneficially shape immune development.
