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 seasonal influenza virus vaccines do not induce robust immune responses to neuraminidase. Several factors, including immunodominance of hemagglutinin over neuraminidase, instability of neuraminidase in vaccine formulations, and variable, nonstandardized amounts of neuraminidase in the vaccines, may contribute to this effect. However, vaccines that induce strong antineuraminidase immune responses would be beneficial, as they are highly protective. Furthermore, antigenic drift is slower for neuraminidase than for hemagglutinin, potentially providing broader coverage. Here, we designed stabilized recombinant versions of neuraminidase by replacing the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, transmembrane, and extracellular stalk with tetramerization domains from the measles or Sendai virus phosphoprotein or from an Arabidopsis thaliana transcription factor. The measles virus tetramerization domain-based construct, termed N1-MPP, was chosen for further evaluation, as it retained antigenicity, neuraminidase activity, and structural integrity and provided robust protection
