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

Reverse vaccinology is a widely used approach that has facilitated the rapid identification of vaccine candidates suitable in vaccine development for pathogens. Vibrio anguillarum is a major pathogen responsible for vibriosis in fish and shellfish leading to huge economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Although commercial vaccines are available for fish against this bacterium they have their own limitations. In this study, we used the reverse vaccinology strategy to screen and identify V. anguillarum outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that could serve as vaccine candidates. Our analysis identified 23 antigenic outer membrane proteins which were highly conserved (>98% identity) across serovars of this bacterium. Of the 23, two were identified as outer membrane lipoproteins. Among the OMPs identified 18 were novel to this study and conserved across several Vibrio spp. with an identity of 21-93%. While the least (>48%) identity was observed for V. anguillarum ferrichrome-iron transporter protein, the highest identity (>80%) was seen for outer membrane proteins OmpK, BamA, OmpU, Fatty acid transporter, and two hypothetical proteins. These potential vaccine targets identified could contribute to the development of effective vaccine not only against V. anguillarum but also across other Vibrio spp. In addition, several B-cell and T-cell epitopes were predicted for the novel OMPs in this study which could aid in narrowing down peptide selection in designing a suitable epitope-based vaccine.
