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

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pneumonia poses a critical threat to global public health. The opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial-associated pneumonia, and an effective vaccine could protect vulnerable populations, including the elderly, immunocompromised, and those with chronic respiratory diseases. Highly heterogeneous outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), shed from Gram-negative bacteria, are studded with immunogenic lipids, proteins, and virulence factors. To overcome limitations in OMV stability and consistency, we described what we believe to be a novel vaccine platform that combines immunogenic OMVs with precision nanotechnology - creating a bacterial cellular nanoparticle (CNP) vaccine candidate, termed Pa-STING CNP, which incorporates an adjuvanted core that activates the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) pathway. In this design, OMVs are coated onto the surface of self-adjuvanted STING nanocores. Pa-STING CNP vaccination induced substantial antigen presenting cell recruitment and activation in draining lymph nodes, robust anti-Pseudomonas antibody responses, and provided protection against lethal challenge with the hypervirulent clinical P. aeruginosa isolate PA14. Antibody responses mediated this protection and provided passive immunity against the heterologous P. aeruginosa strain PA01. These findings provided evidence that nanotechnology can be used to create a highly efficacious vaccine platform against high priority MDR pathogens such as P. aeruginosa.
