Targeting Langerhans cells via skin delivery of HIV Envelope enhances the antibody response to vaccination.
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
Targeting dendritic cells (DCs) with antigens is a promising approach to modulating T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and germinal center (GC) reactions, enhancing vaccine-induced adaptive immune responses, with preclinical studies highlighting a key role of Langerhans cells (LCs) in generating HIV-1-specific antibody responses. This study evaluated the immunogenicity of a Langerin-targeting vaccine (αLang.Env), comprising an anti-mouse Langerin mAb fused to HIV-1 Envelope 96ZM651 gp140 (Env), delivered through various skin immunization routes in mice, and explored the roles of epidermal LCs and dermal cDC1s in adaptive immune responses. Lymph nodes draining the immunization sites were analyzed using ovalbumin (OVA) as a surrogate antigen after topical (top.), subcutaneous (s.c.), intradermal (i.d.), or transcutaneous (t.c.) delivery via laser-guided microporation, with αLang.Env administered without adjuvant in a Prime-Boost scheme. All methods primed T cells in draining lymph nodes (dLN), as shown by OVA-specific CD8
