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 of concern (VOCs) have shown resistance to vaccines targeting the original virus strain. An mRNA vaccine encoding the spike protein of Omicron BA1 (BA1-S-mRNA) was designed, and its neutralizing activity, with or without the original receptor-binding domain (RBD)-mRNA, was tested against SARS-CoV-2 VOCs. First-dose of BA1-S-mRNA followed by two-boosts of RBD-mRNA elicited potent neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against pseudotyped and authentic original SARS-CoV-2; pseudotyped Omicron BA1, BA2, BA2.12.1 and BA5 subvariants, and Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta VOCs; authentic Omicron BA1 subvariant and Delta VOC. By contrast, other vaccination strategies, including RBD-mRNA first-dose plus BA1-S-mRNA two-boosts, RBD-mRNA or BA1-S-mRNA three-doses, or their combinations, failed to elicit high nAb titers against all of these viruses. Overall, this vaccination strategy was effective for inducing broadly and potent nAbs against multiple SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, particularly Omicron BA5, and may guide the rational design of next-generation mRNA vaccines with greater efficacy against future variants.
