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

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is characterized by a high number of chronic cases due to an impairment of protective innate and adaptive immune responses. Here, we examined the contribution of the individual ectodomains of E1, E2, or a modified E2 with reduced CD81 binding and an inserted N-linked glycosylation site in combination as vaccine antigen mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The induction of a protective immune response to surrogate recombinant vaccinia virus (VV) expressing homologous HCV glycoprotein(s) challenge infection in a BALB/c mouse model was observed. Vaccination with a mRNA-LNP expressing soluble E1 (sE1) significantly reduced vv/HCV titer in the mouse ovary. However, the addition of sE2 mRNA-LNP for immunization impaired the efficacy of the sE1 construct. Further analysis showed that Th1 related cytokine responses to the sE1 mRNA-LNP were significantly altered in the presence of sE2 following co-immunization. Evaluation of immunogenicity revealed that the use of modified sE2
