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

Presently, the world needs safe and effective vaccines to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. Our work has focused on formulating two types of mRNA vaccines that differ in capacity to copy themselves inside the cell. These are non-amplifying mRNA (NRM) and self-amplifying mRNA (SAM) vaccines. Both the vaccine candidates encode an engineered viral replicon which can provoke an immune response. Hence we predicted and screened twelve epitopes from the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2. We used five CTL, four HTL, and three B-cell-activating epitopes to formulate each mRNA vaccine. Molecular docking revealed that these epitopes could combine with HLA molecules that are important for boosting immunogenicity. The B-cell epitopes were adjoined with GPGPG linkers, while CTL and HTL epitopes were linked with KK linkers. The entire protein chain was reverse translated to develop a specific NRM-based vaccine. We incorporate gene encoding replicase in the upstream region of CDS encoding antigen to design the SAM vaccine. Subsequently, signal sequences were added to human mRNA to formulate vaccines. Both vaccine formulations translated to produce the epitopes in host cells, initiate a protective immune cascade, and generate immunogenic memory, which can counter future SARS-CoV-2 viral exposures before the onset of infection.
