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

Self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) vaccine formulations link the location and timing of antigen expression to innate immune stimulation by both RNA cargo and carrier. We hypothesized that targeting a polymeric STING agonist prodrug (polySTING) to antigen-presenting cells (APCs) independently of saRNA delivery could tune vaccines responses without limiting saRNA expression. By varying the time and location of STING signaling relative to saRNA delivered by muscle-restricted (polyplex, PP) and lymph node-draining (lipid nanoparticle, LNP) saRNA formulations, we studied how spatiotemporal colocalization of type I interferon (IFN-I) and antigen expression impacts innate and adaptive vaccine responses. Co-administering PP + polySTING decreased antigen-specific adaptive type 1 responses by mismatching early lymph node IFN-I and later arriving antigen; this could be reversed by delaying polySTING delivery timing. Conversely, synchronizing early LNP saRNA delivery and polySTING IFN-I in the lymph node boosted saRNA type 1 T cell responses without impacting humoral immunity, which re-directed antigen-intrinsic immune skewing and enhanced protection against pulmonary
