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) infection remains a major public health issue despite the introduction of several direct‑acting antiviral agents (DAAs), with some 185 million individuals infected with HCV worldwide. There is an urgent need for an effective prophylactic HCV vaccine. In the present study, we constructed genetic vaccines based on novel recombinant adeno‑associated viral (rAAV) vectors (AAV2/8 or AAV2/rh32.33) that express the envelope glycoprotein E2 from the HCV genotype 1b. Expression of HCV E2 protein in 293 cells was confirmed by western blot analysis. rAAV2/8.HCV E2 vaccine or rAAV2/rh32.33.HCV E2 vaccine was intramuscularly injected into C57BL/6 mice. HCV E2‑specific antigen was produced, and long‑lasting specific antibody responses remained detectable XVI weeks following immunization. In addition, the rAAV2/rh32.33 vaccine induced higher antigen‑specific antibody levels than the rAAV2/8 vaccine or AAV plasmid. Moreover, both AAV vaccines induced neutralizing antibodies against HCV genotypes 1a and 1b. Finally, it is worth mentioning that neutralizing antibody levels directed against AAV2/rh32.33 were lower than those against AAV2/8 in both mouse and human serum. These results demonstrate that AAV vectors, especially the AAVrh32.33, have particularly favorable immunogenicity for development into an effective HCV vaccine.
