Neutralizing Antibody Kinetics and Immune Protection Against Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Genital Disease in Vaccinated Women.
Trial report in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00057330 (A Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled Phase III Study to Assess the Prophylactic Efficacy and Safety of gD-Alum/MPL Vaccine in the Prevention of Genital Herpes Disease in Young Women Who Are HSV-1 and -2 Seronegative), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPreviously, our group conducted the Herpevac Trial for Women, a randomized efficacy field trial of type 2 glycoprotein D (gD2) herpes simplex virus (HSV) vaccine adjuvanted with ASO4 in 8323 women. Study participants were selected to be seronegative for HSV-1 and HSV-2. We found that the vaccine was 82% protective against culture-positive HSV-1 genital disease but offered no significant protection against HSV-2 genital disease. Efficacy against HSV-1 was associated with higher levels of antibody to gD2 at enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
methodsTo better understand the results of the efficacy study, we measured postvaccination concentrations of neutralizing antibody (nAb) to either HSV-1 and HSV-2 from HSV-infected study participants and matched uninfected controls. Statistical modeling was used to determine whether these responses were correlated with protection against HSV.
resultsnAbs to either HSV-1 or HSV-2 were correlated with ELISA binding antibodies to gD2. HSV-1 or HSV-2 nAb findings support the observation of protection by higher levels of antibody against HSV-1 infection, but the lack of protection against HSV-2 remains unexplained.
conclusionsThe protection against HSV-1 infection observed in the Herpevac Trial for Women was associated with nAbs directed against the virus, although the power to assess this was lower in the nAb study compared with the ELISA results owing to smaller sample size. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION: NCT00057330.
