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

Personalized neoantigen mRNA vaccine showed high potency to treat advanced melanoma and pancreatic cancer in recent clinical trials. Strategies to further increase its therapeutic efficacy are highly demanded. This study explored flagellin to increase model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) mRNA-induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses and anti-tumor immunity in OVA-expressing B16F10 melanoma models. To minimize the potential negative impact of flagellin-induced signaling pathways on OVA mRNA translation, flagellin mRNA was used in our studies. We found flagellin-OVA mRNA (co-expression) but not flagellin mRNA/OVA mRNA (separate expression) significantly increased granzyme B, perforin, and interferon γ-secreting CD8
