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

Purpose: Methods: RA-NVs were synthesized via single emulsion-diffusion-evaporation, with antigens loaded onto the nanoparticle surfaces. Their physicochemical properties, antigen loading capacity, and stability were characterized. In vitro dendritic cell (DC) activation, antigen uptake, and gut-homing receptor expression (C-C chemokine receptor 9, CCR9) were assessed. In vivo distribution was examined using in vivo imaging system (IVIS). BALB/c mice were immunized intramuscularly, and subsequent mucosal (IgA) and systemic (IgG) antibody responses, cytokine profiles, T cell proliferation, and bacterial clearance upon Results: RA-NVs exhibited optimal size, surface charge, and sustained antigen and RA release. In vitro assays demonstrated efficient DC uptake, enhanced CCR9 expression, cytokine secretion (IL-6, IL-10, IL-15), and improved DC migration towards C-C motif chemokine ligand 25 (CCL25). In vivo, RA-NVs significantly elevated serum IgG and mucosal IgA antibodies, promoted CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activation, and elicited robust Th2/Th17-skewed responses. Notably, immunized mice exhibited significantly reduced gastric bacterial colonization and inflammation upon Conclusion: The RA-adjuvanted nanovaccine effectively induces potent mucosal and systemic immunity via intramuscular administration, representing a promising strategy against mucosal pathogens such as
