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

SARS-CoV-2 variants are now still challenging all the approved vaccines, including mRNA vaccines. There is an urgent need to develop new generation mRNA vaccines with more powerful efficacy and better safety against SARS-CoV-2 variants. In this study, a new set of ionizable lipids named 4N4T are constructed and applied to form novel lipid nanoparticles called 4N4T-LNPs. Leading 4N4T-LNPs exhibit much higher mRNA translation efficiency than the approved SM-102-LNPs. To test the effectiveness of the novel delivery system, the DS mRNA encoding the full-length S protein of the SARS-CoV-2 variant is synthesized and loaded in 4N4T-LNPs. The obtained 4N4T-DS mRNA vaccines successfully trigger robust and durable humoral immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants including Delta and Omicron. Importantly, the novel vaccines have higher RBD-specific IgG titers and neutralizing antibody titers than SM-102-based DS mRNA vaccine. Besides, for the first time, the types of mRNA vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies are found to be influenced by the chemical structure of ionizable lipids. 4N4T-DS mRNA vaccines also induce strong Th1-skewed T cell responses and have good safety. This work provides a novel vehicle for mRNA delivery that is more effective than the approved LNPs and shows its application in vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 variants.
