Characterization of the Immune Response after Oral Cholera Vaccination (OCV) and Effects of Mycophenolate Mofetil on Priming of this Immune Response-A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

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.
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
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressive drug widely used by solid organ transplant recipients. Although it is known that MMF suppresses immune responses, its exact effects on specific vaccinations have not been investigated yet. Mucosal vaccinations are increasingly used, such as a cholera vaccination consisting of two oral immunizations (oral cholera vaccination; OCV). This study aimed to investigate the specific immunosuppressive effects of MMF use during the first dose of OCV in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in healthy volunteers. Moreover, the study aimed to characterize the immune response provoked by OCV in detail. This randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind trial included 16 healthy volunteers, each receiving two doses of Dukoral® and an intranasal rechallenge. Outcome measures were serum antibody responses (IgA and IgG) and IgA levels in saliva. Additionally, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of participants were investigated for ex vivo cytokine production and expression of tissue-specific homing markers after OCV. There were considerable serum IgA and IgG responses after vaccination. MMF-treated volunteers still showed a significant cholera antibody response, though data suggest a potential suppression by MMF without reaching statistical significance. There was no substantial IgA response in saliva. Investigation of PBMCs from OCV-treated participants showed a Th2 skewing with increased ex vivo production of TNF, IL-2, IL-5, IL-13, and IL-22 compared to the placebo group. Taken together, this study provides a framework for future clinical pharmacology studies building on OCV as a challenge model and for further investigation of specific effects of MMF on mucosal vaccination responses.
