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

backgroundAs the most powerful professional antigen-presenting cell, dendritic cells (DCs), can effectively activate tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses through antigen cross-presentation (XPT), which involves endosome escape and subsequent degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome system of the exogenous tumor antigen in cytosol. Unfortunately, this important function is often compromised in the tumor microenvironment.

methodsTo recover the function of DCs in the antitumor settings, in the present study, we applied PROTAC (proteolysis-targeting chimera) principle in DC vaccine design by chemically linking a small molecular ligand of E3 ubiquitin ligase lenalidomide to a protein antigen ovalbumin (OVA), wrapped in membrane-penetrating nanoparticles calcium carbonate (CaCO

resultsThe antitumor efficacy of the DC vaccines prepared by the chimeric antigen-containing nanoparticles, lenalidomide-OVA-CaCO

conclusionsTogether, we established a proof of concept for PROTAC in the DC vaccine design by linking E3 ligase to a protein model antigen, which can be readily replaced with other identified pathogenic antigens to elicit robust cytotoxic immune responses against tumors or viral diseases, and thus has serious implications in the clinics.
