The protection of CoronaVac against the infection of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 (WH-09) or Omicron variant in nude-hACE2 mice.
Article in Animal models and experimental medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundImmunocompromised individuals have an increased risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and severe outcomes, but we pay less attention to these people. Athymic nude mice are a murine strain with a spontaneous deficiency of the Foxn1 gene, which can result in thymic degeneration or its absence, leading to immunosuppression and a decrease in the number of T cells, and are widely used in preclinical evaluations of disease in immunocompromised populations.
methodsWe investigated the protection of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac) against the infection of wild-type SARS-CoV-2 (WH-09) or Omicron variant utilizing a hybrid-type nude-hACE2 mouse model.
resultsCompared with nude-hACE2/W mice, the viral load in the brain and lung tissue of nude-hACE2 mice (nude-hACE2/WV) infected with WH-09 after vaccination significantly decreased, and the histopathological changes were also reduced. The viral load in the brain and lung tissue of nude-hACE2 mice (nude-hACE2/OV) infected with the Omicron variant after vaccination was lower than that in nude-hACE2/O, but histopathological symptoms did not improve significantly.
conclusionCoronaVac provides some protection against infection of both WH-09 and the Omicron variant in the nude-hACE2 mice. Our findings aimed to provide a reference for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in immunocompromised populations.
