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

Influenza B viruses (IBVs) primarily infect humans and are a common cause of respiratory infections in humans. Here, to systematically analyze the antigenicity of the IBVs Hemagglutinin (HA) protein, 31 ​B/Victoria and 19 ​B/Yamagata representative circulating strains were selected from Global Initiative of Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID), and pseudotyped viruses were constructed with the vesicular stomatitis virus system. Guinea pigs were immunized with three doses of vaccines (one dose of DNA vaccines following two doses of pseudotyped virus vaccines) of the seven IBV vaccine strains, and neutralizing antibodies against the pseudotyped viruses were tested. By comparing differences between various vaccine strains, we constructed several pseudotyped viruses that contained various mutations based on vaccine strain BV-21. The vaccine strains showed good neutralization levels against the epidemic virus strains of the same year, with neutralization titers ranging from 370 to 840, while the level of neutralization against viruses prevalent in previous years decreased 1-10-fold. Each of the high-frequency epidemic strains of B/Victoria and B/Yamagata not only induced high neutralizing titers, but also had broadly neutralizing effects against virus strains of different years, with neutralizing titers ranging from 1000 to 7200. R141G, D197 ​N, and R203K were identified as affecting the antigenicity of IBV. These mutation sites provide valuable references for the selection and design of a universal IBV vaccine strain in the future.
