Functional NK Cell Activation by Ovalbumin Immunization with a Monophosphoryl Lipid A and Poly I:C Combination Adjuvant Promoted Dendritic Cell Maturation.
Article in Vaccines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Natural killer (NK) cells are one of the types of innate immune cells to remove pathogen-infected cells and modulate inflammatory immune responses. Recent studies have revealed that NK cells could enhance vaccine efficacy by coordinating the innate and adaptive immune responses. In this study, we have evaluated the efficacy of intranasal ovalbumin (OVA) immunization with a monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) and polyriboinosinic polyribocytidylic acid (poly I:C) combination adjuvant in promoting NK cell recruitment, differentiation, and activation. The frequencies of NK cells were positively correlated with those of dendritic cells (DCs) at the site of immunization. Moreover, the activated NK cells and DCs by the MPL + poly I:C combination adjuvant induced activations of each other cells in vitro. Taken together, this study suggested that the MPL and poly I:C combination adjuvant in OVA vaccination mediated NK cell activation and cellular crosstalk between NK cells and DCs, suggesting a promising vaccine adjuvant candidate for promoting cellular immune responses.
