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

COVID-19 vaccines effectively prevent symptomatic infection and severe disease, including hospitalization and death. However, unequal vaccine distribution during the pandemic, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has led to the emergence of vaccine-resistant strains. This underscores the need for alternative, safe, and thermostable vaccine platforms, such as dissolved microneedle array patches (MAP) delivering a subunit vaccine, which eliminate the need for cold chain and trained healthcare personnel. This study demonstrates that the SARS-CoV-2 S1 monomer with RS09, a TLR-4 agonist peptide, serves as an optimal protein subunit immunogen. This combination stimulates a stronger S1-specific immune response, resulting in binding to the membrane-bound spike on the cell surface and ACE2-binding inhibition, compared to the monomer S1 alone or trimer S1, regardless of RS09. MAP delivery of the rS1RS09 subunit vaccine elicited higher and longer-lasting immunity compared to conventional intramuscular injection. S1-specific IgG levels remained significantly elevated for up to 70 weeks post-administration. Additionally, different doses of 5, 15, and 45
