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

The efficacy of tumor vaccines depends in large part on additional immunostimulation of antigen-presenting cells (APC) in tumor microenvironments. Various Toll-like receptors (TLR), and in particular TLR3 stimulation by dsRNA, generate a cellular immune response well suited for vaccines. A major drawback of currently used Poly I:C-based TLR3 agonists is their size heterogeneity, variable stability, as well as the toxicity of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery vehicles. To improve existing platforms, here, we designed a myeloid cell targeting nanoparticle system with a refined TLR3 agonist (NexaVant, NVT) and additionally containing small molecule NF-κB stimulators. We termed this myeloid targeting immune enhancer cocktail "MyTai". MyTai, based on ferrocenoyl-aminoguanidine modified cross-linked bis succinyl cyclodextrin, efficiently charge-complexed NVT and small molecules, resulting in a ∼100 nm diameter nanoparticle. MyTai was shown to be extraordinarily robust, highly efficacious in eradicating multiple tumor types, stable, and characterized by low toxicity when administered systemically. MyTai represents a viable alternative to otherwise toxic LNP RNA delivery platforms for immune stimulation.
