Side-by-side Comparative Study of the Immunogenicity of the Intramuscular and Intradermal Rabies Post-exposure Prophylaxis Regimens in a Cohort of Suspected Rabies Virus Exposed Individuals.
Article in Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
All World Health Organization (WHO) pre-qualified rabies vaccines for humans are inactivated tissue culture rabies virus formulations produced for intramuscular (IM) administration. Due to costs and vaccine shortage, dose-saving intradermal (ID) administration of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is encouraged by WHO. This study compared the immunogenicity of the ID 2-site, 3-visit Institut Pasteur Cambodge (IPC) PEP regimen to the IM 1-site, 4-visit 4-dose Essen regimen using Verorab vaccine (Sanofi). The development of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and T cell response was assessed in 210 patients with a category II or III animal exposure in a rabies-endemic country. At day 28, all participants developed nAbs (≥0.5 IU/mL), irrespective of PEP scheme, age, or administration of rabies immunoglobulin. T cell response and nAb titers were similar for both PEP schemes. This study demonstrated that the 1-week ID IPC regimen is as effective as the 2-week IM 4-dose Essen regimen in inducing an anti-rabies immune response under real-life PEP.
