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

Current influenza vaccines provide hemagglutinin (HA) strain-specific protection. To improve cross protection, we engineered replication-competent influenza A virus to express tandem repeats of heterologous M2 extracellular (M2e) domains in a chimeric HA. M2e epitopes conjugated to HA glycoproteins (M2e4x-HA) were found to be expressed on the surfaces of a replicable influenza virus as examined by electron microscopy. The recombinant influenza virus containing M2e4x-HA was moderately attenuated but superior to the parental virus in inducing M2e specific antibodies without compromising HA immunogenicity. Recombinant influenza virus immune mice showed better cross protection than parental virus immune mice. Immune sera from the mice with inoculation of live recombinant influenza virus expressing M2e4x-HA were effective in conferring protection against H1, H3, and H5 subtype influenza viruses. This study indicates that recombinant influenza virus expressing conserved protective epitopes in an HA chimeric form can provide a new approach for improving the efficacy of influenza vaccines.
