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

The gastric cancer-associated antigen MG7-Ag is aberrantly expressed in multiple gastrointestinal malignancies and represents a promising broad-spectrum target for pan-gastrointestinal tumor peptide vaccines; however, its clinical application is hampered by low immunogenicity. To overcome this limitation, we covalently conjugated a diphtheria toxin-derived T-helper epitope to the trivalent antigen MG3, which was constructed by tandem repetition of the monovalent MG1 peptide from the MG7-Ag. A liposomal vaccine was subsequently developed by incorporating DT-MG3 together with the natural killer T (NKT) cell agonist α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer). Immunological evaluation demonstrated that DT-MG3 plus αGalCer elicited significantly higher specific IgG titers than DT-MG3 alone or the unconjugated MG3/αGalCer combination. The vaccine also promoted IFN-γ/IL-4 secretion and boosted CD4
