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

Low-cost and safe vaccines are needed to fill the vaccine inequity gap for future pandemics. Pichia pastoris is an ideal expression system for recombinant protein production due to its cost-effective and easy-to-scale-up process. Here, we developed a next-generation SARS-CoV2 Omicron BA.1-based recombinant vaccine candidate expressed in P. pastoris. The receptor binding domain of Omicron BA.1 spike protein (RBD-Omicron) was produced at 0.35 g/L in supernatant. With a 60% recovery after two-step purification, RBD-Omicron showed 99% purity. After in vitro characterisation of purified RBD-Omicron via chromatography, mass spectrometry, calorimetry and surface plasmon resonance-based methods, it was injected into mice for immunization studies. Three different doses of Alum and CpG adjuvanted RBD-Omicron were investigated and 10 μg RBD-Omicron gave the highest antigenicity. After two doses of vaccination, IgG titers in mice serum reached to more than 10
