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

backgroundThe respiratory mucosa serves as the primary site for Pseudorabies Virus (PRV) invasion, which can elicit both local mucosal and systemic immune responses. However, due to the presence of mucosal barrier, nasal immunization with inactivated vaccines typically results in a limited immune response; thus, a mucosal adjuvant is necessary to enhance this response. Cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) acts as a potent agonist of STING, exhibiting significant mucosal adjuvant properties. It plays a vital role in the regulation of innate immune responses to DNA viruses.

resultsIn this study, we developed a nasal vaccine for PRV by integrating cGAMP with PRV antigen. Both mucosal and systemic antibody responses were enhanced in a dose-dependent manner by PRV antigen or cGAMP adjuvant administration. cGAMP adjuvanted PRV vaccine induced a persistent IgG but resulted in a transient IgA mucosal antibody response. Intranasal immunization with cGAMP effectively enhanced CD3

conclusionThis study found that cGAMP significantly enhanced the nasal immunological efficacy of the PRV inactivated vaccine by activating the STING signaling pathway within respiratory mucosa. Therefore, cGAMP demonstrated significant potential as an effective mucosal immune adjuvant to be employed in inactivated PRV vaccine. This approach offered novel technical support for the immunization and prevention against PRV infection.
