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

Tick-borne diseases have increased significantly due to several factors, including climate change. Ticks can carry diverse pathogens, and transmission is facilitated by immunosuppressive tick salivary proteins. Vaccination targeting tick salivary proteins has been proposed as a strategy to enhance broad acquired immunity against tick-borne pathogens. Given the immunosuppressive nature of these proteins, we leveraged the ability of nanoparticles to enhance antigen immunogenicity. We synthesized nanoparticles directly from tick salivary proteins, evasin-3 and tick salivary lectin pathway inhibitor (TSLPI), by desolvation with ethanol and cross-linking. Nanoparticles formulated with the CpG oligonucleotide adjuvant significantly enhanced both humoral and cellular immune responses against both evasin-3 and TSLPI in mice compared to soluble CpG adjuvanted antigens. These results demonstrate the importance of antigen delivery and presentation, particularly for poorly immunogenic antigens, and the potential for protein nanoparticles to be developed as vaccines against diverse tick-borne pathogens.
