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

To control the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the emergence of different variants of concern (VoCs), novel vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are needed. In this study, we report the potent immunogenicity and efficacy induced in hamsters by a vaccine candidate based on a modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) vector expressing a human codon optimized full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein (MVA-S). Immunization with one or two doses of MVA-S elicited high titers of S- and receptor-binding domain (RBD)-binding IgG antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against parental SARS-CoV-2 and VoC alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and omicron. After SARS-CoV-2 challenge, MVA-S-vaccinated hamsters showed a significantly strong reduction of viral RNA and infectious virus in the lungs compared to the MVA-WT control group. Moreover, a marked reduction in lung histopathology was also observed in MVA-S-vaccinated hamsters. These results favor the use of MVA-S as a potential vaccine candidate for SARS-CoV-2 in clinical trials.
