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

A nonreplicating rotavirus vaccine (NRRV) containing 3 recombinant fusion proteins adsorbed to aluminum adjuvant (Alhydrogel [AH]) is currently in clinical trials. The compatibility and stability of monovalent NRRV antigen with key components of a multidose vaccine formulation were examined using physicochemical and immunochemical methods. The extent and strength of antigen-adjuvant binding were diminished by increasing phosphate concentration, and acceptable levels were identified along with alternate buffering agents. Addition of the preservative thimerosal destabilized AH-adsorbed P2-VP8-P[8] as measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Over 3 months at 4°C, AH-adsorbed P2-VP8-P[8] was stable, whereas at 25°C and 37°C, instability was observed which was greatly accelerated by thimerosal addition. Loss of antibody binding (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) correlated with loss of structural integrity (differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy) with concomitant nonnative disulfide bond formation (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and Asn deamidation (liquid chromatography -mass spectrometry peptide mapping). An alternative preservative (2-phenoxyethanol) showed similar antigen destabilization. Due to limited availability, only key assays were performed with monovalent P2-VP8-P[4] and P2-VP8-P[6] AH-adsorbed antigens, and varying levels of preservative incompatibility were observed. In summary, monovalent AH-adsorbed NRRV antigens stored at 4°C showed good stability without preservatives; however, future formulation development efforts are required to prepare a stable, preservative-containing, multidose NRRV formulation.
