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

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in the elderly and in children, associated with pediatric hospitalizations. Recently, first vaccines have been approved for people over 60 years of age applied by intramuscular injection. However, a vaccination route via mucosal application holds great potential in the protection against respiratory pathogens like RSV. Mucosal vaccines induce local immune responses, resulting in a fast and efficient elimination of respiratory viruses after natural infection. Therefore, a low-energy electron irradiated RSV (LEEI-RSV) formulated with phosphatidylcholine-liposomes (PC-LEEI-RSV) was tested ex vivo in precision cut lung slices (PCLSs) for adverse effects. The immunogenicity and protective efficacy in vivo were analyzed in an RSV challenge model after intranasal vaccination using a homologous prime-boost immunization regimen. No side effects of PC-LEEI-RSV in PCLS and an efficient antibody induction in vivo could be observed. In contrast to unformulated LEEI-RSV, the mucosal vaccination of mice with PC formulated LEEI-RSV showed a statistically significant reduction in viral load after challenge. These results are a proof-of-principle for the use of LEEI-inactivated viruses formulated with liposomes to be administered intranasally to induce a mucosal immunity that could also be adapted for other respiratory viruses.
