Seroprevalence of human adenovirus type 5 neutralizing antibodies in the Philippines.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Human adenovirus (HAdV), particularly the HAdV type 5 (HAdV-5), has been extensively utilized in the development of vector vaccines due to its high immunogenicity, good safety profile, and ease of propagation. However, one of the main challenges in its use is the presence of pre-existing immunity among vaccine recipients. Pre-existing neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) can prevent the uptake of HAdV-5 vectors and reduce vaccine efficacy. Hence, this study investigated the seroprevalence of NAbs against HAdV-5 in urban and rural regions of the Philippines. Luciferase-based neutralization assay was performed on 391 plasma/serum samples. Out of these samples, 346 or 88.5% were positive for HAdV-5 NAbs, and the majority of them (56.8%) had high titers against the virus. Among the regions included in this study, Bicol (Region V) had the highest seroprevalence rate (94.1%). Our findings show that a significant number of adults in the Philippines have pre-existing immunity against HAdV-5. This supports the recommendation that vaccination programs in the country should consider implementing vaccination techniques, such as a prime-boost regimen or addition of booster doses, to address the potential negative effects of pre-existing HAdV-5 immunity in the efficacy of adenoviral vector-based vaccines.
