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

Background: Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) and parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3) cause respiratory tract illness in children and the elderly. No licensed vaccines are available. Methods: In this phase 1, randomized, dose-ranging, first-in-human study, the safety, reactogenicity, and humoral immunogenicity of an investigational mRNA-based hMPV and PIV3 combination vaccine, mRNA-1653, were evaluated in healthy adults aged 18-49 years. Sentinel participants (n = 20) received 2 doses of mRNA-1653 (25, 75, 150, or 300 μg) in the dose escalation phase, and participants (n = 104) received 2 doses of mRNA-1653 (75, 150, or 300 μg) or placebo in the dose selection phase; injections were 28 days apart. Results: The most common solicited reactogenicity events were injection site pain, headache, fatigue, and myalgia, the majority of which were grade 1 or 2. A single mRNA-1653 dose increased neutralization titers against hMPV and PIV3 1 month after vaccination compared with baseline. No notable increases in neutralizing antibody titers were observed with escalating dose levels after mRNA-1653, although no statistical inferences were made; a second mRNA-1653 dose had little observable impact on antibody titers. Neutralizing titers through 1 year remained above baseline for hMPV and returned to baseline for PIV3. Conclusions: mRNA-1653 was well tolerated, with an acceptable safety profile and increased hMPV and PIV3 neutralization titers in healthy adults.
