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

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a major health burden with more than 170 million individuals currently infected worldwide, equaling roughly 3% of the world's population. HCV preferentially infects hepatocytes and is able to persist in up to 70% of infected individuals. It is estimated that up to 30% of chronically infected individuals will go on to develop progressive liver disease as a result of HCV infection, making the virus the leading cause of liver transplantation in the world. Currently there is no vaccine for HCV. In this study, we have taken a multi-step approach to develop a novel genotype 1a/1b consensus HCV NS3/NS4A DNA vaccine able to induce strong cellular immunity. We show that this construct is able to induce strong anti-NS3/NS4A T cell responses in C57BL/6 mice, as well as, in Rhesus macaques. Our data suggest that DNA vaccines encoding HCV proteins NS3/NS4A merit further study in the context of future prophylactic and therapeutic HCV T cell based vaccines.
