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

Vaccinia virus (VACV) is the vaccine for smallpox and a widely used vaccine vector for infectious diseases and cancers. The majority of the antibodies elicited by live VACV vaccination respond to virion structural proteins, including many integral membrane proteins on the intracellular mature virion (MV). Here, we showed that antibody response to an exogenous antigen delivered by VACV was greatly enhanced by incorporating the antigen as an integral membrane protein of MV. We constructed recombinant VACV expressing a Yersinia pestis protective antigen, LcrV, unmodified or fused with either a signal peptide or with the transmembrane domain of VACV D8 protein (LcrV-TM). Electron microscopy showed that LcrV-TM was displayed on the surface of MV. Importantly, VACV expressing LcrV-TM elicited a significantly higher titer of anti-LcrV antibody in mice than viruses expressing other forms of LcrV. Only mice immunized with LcrV-TM-expressing VACV were protected from lethal Y. pestis and VACV WR challenges. Antigen engineering through fusion with D8 transmembrane domain may be broadly applicable for enhancing the immune response to antigens delivered by a VACV vector. The recombinant virus described here could also serve as the basis for developing a vaccine against both smallpox and plague.
