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

A novel therapeutic approach, inverse vaccination, is being developed to combat autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory conditions. It aims to educate the immune system to recognize self-components as innocuous and stop reacting against them. Inverse vaccination, also referred to as tolerogenic vaccination, introduces autoantigens into the immune system to induce immune tolerance to the nominal antigen. In contrast to conventional vaccination, which aims to train the immune system to identify a pathogen as a potential threat that needs to be eradicated, inverse vaccination is designed to educate the immune system to recognize that an antigen is harmless and, consequently, extinguish the inflammatory attack of the tissues that contain the autoantigen. This article discusses recent progress in using inverse vaccination to design therapeutic interventions in several autoimmune diseases by deprivation of co-stimulatory signaling, tagging autoantigens to trigger immune tolerance in the liver, and mRNA vaccination. Also discussed is a tolerogenic feedback loop implicating B lymphocytes in inverse vaccination.
