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

Adjuvants targeting pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can selectively skew the immune responses towards a Th1, Th2 or Th17 phenotype following vaccination. However, for diseases such as tuberculosis (TB), mixed Th cell responses, especially Th1/Th17 are considered important for protection. Hence, the potential of combining adjuvants to achieve mixed and synergistic immune responses warrants further investigation. Herein, we evaluated the combination of a Mincle and a Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 agonist for its capacity to induce greater and more protective Th1/Th17 responses than use of either adjuvant individually. Stimulation of human PBMCs with the synthetic UM-1098/INI-2002 adjuvant combination led to synergistic IL-1β and TNF-α production. Importantly, vaccination of mice with the
