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
backgroundAlthough DNA vaccines offer a flexible platform for tumor immunotherapy, their weak immunogenicity remains a key limitation. This study aimed to improve the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines by enhancing the efficiency of tumor neoantigen delivery through extracellular vesicles (EVs), thereby promoting stronger dendritic cell (DC) activation and antitumor responses.
methodsA novel DNA vaccine (pCSP) was engineered by fusing tumor-specific neoantigens to the EV-associated protein CD63 and incorporating a SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) fragment to facilitate EV uptake by DCs. The resulting EVs were expected to carry neoantigens into the immunoproteasome for major histocompatibility complex I (MHC-I) presentation. The immunological and antitumor effects of pCSP were assessed through in vitro functional assays and in vivo experiments in a murine pancreatic cancer model. Safety was evaluated through histological and biochemical analyses.
resultsIn vitro, pCSP significantly promoted EV internalization by DCs by approximately twofold and enhanced their immune activation, as evidenced by elevated cytokine production. In vivo, pCSP markedly suppressed tumor growth with a decrease in volume by over 70% relative to controls, boosted CD8+ T cell responses, and increased immune infiltration into the tumor microenvironment. Safety assessments revealed that while liver/kidney function markers were within physiological ranges, mild inflammatory infiltrates were consistently observed in the lungs, indicating a localized safety concern that warrants further monitoring.
conclusionsThe pCSP vaccine enhances the immunogenicity of neoantigen DNA vaccines by improving EV uptake and immune activation in DCs. These findings provide a potential strategy for improving DNA vaccine efficacy in the context of cancer immunotherapy while maintaining acceptable safety.
