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.

Abstract

Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) are pathogenic zoonoses found in Asia and Europe, respectively. We conducted a randomized Phase 1 clinical trial of individual HTNV and PUUV DNA vaccines targeting the envelope glycoproteins (GnGc), as well as a combined HTNV/PUUV DNA vaccine delivered at varying doses using the PharmaJet Stratis® needle-free injection system (NCT02776761). Cohort 1 and 2 vaccines consisted of 2 mg/vaccination of HTNV or PUUV plasmid, respectively. Cohort 3 vaccine consisted of 2 mg/vaccination of 1:1 mixture of HTNV and PUUV vaccines. Vaccinations were administered on Days 0, 28, 56, and 168. The vaccines were safe and well tolerated. Neutralizing antibody responses were elicited in 7/7 (100%) subjects who received the HTNV DNA (Cohort 1) and 6/6 (100%) subjects who received the PUUV DNA (Cohort 2) vaccines alone. The combination vaccine resulted in 4/9 (44%) seroconversion against both viruses. After the first two vaccinations, the seroconversion rates for the HTNV and PUUV vaccines were >80%.
