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

African swine fever virus (ASFV) has substantially spread worldwide, resulting in significant economic losses in the swine industry. Despite extensive research, no ASF vaccine has surpassed the effectiveness of live attenuated vaccines. For instance, the live attenuated vaccine ASFV-G-ΔI177L/ΔLVR has demonstrated good efficacy and safety, along with prolonged persistence of ASF antibodies after vaccination. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate its potential for protection against highly virulent homologous ASF viruses based on changes in the farm environment. To this end, we challenged domestic pigs with a virulent field strain of ASFV following intramuscular immunization with ASFV-G-ΔI177L/ΔLVR. We further assessed its genomic stability and long-term antibody persistence in immunized domestic pigs. All vaccinated pigs exhibited high antibody positivity, with higher levels of antibodies observed at the time of challenge. These high ASF vaccine antibodies were maintained for approximately 2 months after vaccination. In addition, no organ or tissue damage was observed in the vaccinated animals. Our findings demonstrate the applicability of this vaccine candidate in the prevention of ASFV infection in the swine industry.
