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

Optimizing vaccine design to induce CD8 T cell responses has been challenging, but lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated mRNA vaccines effectively generate CD8 T cell memory. Interleukin-12 (IL-12) supports CD8 T cell expansion and acquisition of effector function, but the role of IL-12 in the generation of CD8 T responses to mRNA vaccination is unclear. Here, we determine that endogenous IL-12 is not required for CD8 T cell responses to mRNA-LNP vaccination. We assessed the adjuvant activity of an mRNA-LNP encapsulating a codon-optimized mRNA that encodes both subunits of IL-12 (LNP-IL-12). Coadministration of LNP-IL-12 with ovalbumin (OVA) mRNA-LNPs enhanced CD8 T cell expansion and effector function and expanded circulating, effector, and tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells. LNP-IL-12 increased CD8 T cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus antigens and improved protection against
