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.
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
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic remains an ongoing threat to global health with emerging variants, especially the Omicron variant and its sub-lineages. Although large-scale vaccination worldwide has delivered outstanding achievements for COVID-19 prevention, a declining effectiveness to a different extent in emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants was observed in the vaccinated population. Vaccines eliciting broader spectrum neutralizing antibodies and cellular immune responses are urgently needed and important. To achieve this goal, rational vaccine design, including antigen modeling, screening and combination, vaccine pipelines, and delivery, are keys to developing a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine. In this study, we designed several DNA constructs based on codon-optimized spike coding regions of several SARS-CoV-2 variants and analyzed their cross-reactive antibodies, including neutralizing antibodies, and cellular immune responses against several VOCs in C57BL/6 mice. The results revealed that different SARS-CoV-2 VOCs induced different cross-reactivity; pBeta, a DNA vaccine encoding the spike protein of the Beta variant, elicited broader cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against other variants including the Omicron variants BA.1 and BA.4/5. This result demonstrates that the spike antigen from the Beta variant potentially serves as one of the antigens for multivalent vaccine design and development against variants of SARS-CoV-2.
