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

BACKGROUND/

objectiveAnti-tick vaccines represent a promising alternative to chemical acaricides for the management of ticks on wildlife; however, little progress has been made to produce a vaccine effective in wild hosts that are critical for tick reproduction, such as the white-tailed deer (

methodsUsing a proteomic approach, we characterized the cargo within salivary and midgut vesicles. Label-free quantitative proteomics were used to investigate significant changes in protein loading within extracellular vesicles in these two organs. The pre-vaccination and post-vaccination serum from three animals vaccinated with salivary and midgut vesicles and one control animal were used to identify proteins recognized by circulating antibodies.

resultsWe show that these salivary and midgut vesicles contain a "core-cargo" enriched in chaperones, small GTPases, and other proteins previously reported in small EVs. Label-free quantitative proteomics show significant differences in protein cargo between salivary and midgut vesicles (333 proteins out of 516). Proteomic analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins identified thirty antigens with potential for use in anti-tick vaccines, seven of which we have categorized as high priority.

conclusionsProteins within tick salivary and midgut vesicles are recognized by antibodies from vaccinated white-tailed deer. These proteins can be further evaluated for their function and potential as vaccine candidates against ticks.
