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

Transcutaneous vaccination has several advantages including having a noninvasive route and needle-free administration; nonetheless developing an effective transdermal formulation has not been an easy task because skin physiology, particularly the stratum corneum, does not allow antigen penetration. Size is a crucial parameter for successful active molecule administration through the skin. Here we report a new core-shell structure rationally developed for transcutaneous antigen delivery. The resulting multifunctional carrier has an oily core with immune adjuvant properties and a polymeric corona made of chitosan. This system has a size of around 100 nm and a positive zeta potential. The new formulation is stable in storage and physiological conditions. Ovalbumin (OVA) was used as the antigen model and the developed nanocapsules show high association efficiency (75%). Chitosan nanocapsules have high interaction with the immune system which was demonstrated by complement activation and also did not affect cell viability in the macrophage cell line. Finally, ex vivo studies using a pig skin model show that OVA associated to the chitosan nanocapsules developed in this study penetrated and were retained better than OVA in solution. Thus, the physicochemical properties and their adequate characteristics make this carrier an excellent platform for transcutaneous antigen delivery.
