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

Streptococcus suis infection represents a major challenge in pig farming and public health due to its zoonotic potential and diverse serotypes, while existing vaccines lack effective cross-protection. This study employed reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics to identify 8 conserved proteins across 11 prevalent serotypes of S. suis. 16 candidate epitopes were selected to design three multi-epitope antigens against S. suis (designated as MEASs), which fused with a dendritic cell-targeting peptide to improve antigen presentation in host. Purified MEASs displayed favorable cross-reactogenicity against 29 serotype-specific antiserums. Robust humoral and cellular immune responses can be induced by MEAS 1 and MEAS 3 in a mouse model, which provided substantial protection against virulent strains from two different serotypes. In particular, their immune serums exhibited positive opsonization effects within bloodstream and macrophage phagocytosis. Taken together, we identified two promising MEASs with excellent cross-protection, offering potential in preventing S. suis infections in a mouse model.
