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

COVID-19 cases caused by new variants of highly mutable SARS-CoV-2 continue to be identified worldwide. Effective control of the spread of new variants can be achieved through targeting of conserved viral epitopes. In this regard, the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein, which is much more conserved than the evolutionarily influenced spike protein (S), is a suitable antigen. The recombinant N protein can be considered not only as a screening antigen but also as a basis for the development of next-generation COVID-19 vaccines, but little is known about induction of antibodies against the N protein via different SARS-CoV-2 variants. In addition, it is important to understand how antibodies produced against the antigen of one variant can react with the N proteins of other variants. Here, we used recombinant N proteins from five SARS-CoV-2 strains to investigate their immunogenicity and antigenicity in a mouse model and to obtain and characterize a panel of hybridoma-derived monoclonal anti-N antibodies. We also analyzed the variable epitopes of the N protein that are potentially involved in differential recognition of antiviral antibodies. These results will further deepen our knowledge of the cross-reactivity of the humoral immune response in COVID-19.
