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

backgroundMaternal-derived antibody (MDA) interferes with immune responses, leading to the failure of H9N2 avian influenza vaccinations in poultry. So far, none of the commercially available H9N2 avian influenza vaccines used in poultry have been able to overcome MDA interference.

methodsTo develop a vaccine that can overcome MDA interference, one or multiple copies of the minimum-binding domain (P29) from the complement protein C3d were inserted in between the signal peptide and the head domain of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein on a H9N2 avian influenza virus (A/Chicken/Shanghai/H514/2017, named H514).

resultsThe HA proteins containing P29 stimulated stronger type I interferences than wild-type HA proteins in vitro. The modified viruses with the HA proteins containing one copy of P29 (rH514-P29.1) and two copies of P29.2 (rH514-P29.2) were successfully rescued using reverse genetics. The inactivated vaccines developed with rH514-P29.1 or rH514-P29.2 induced higher and faster humoral immune responses than the vaccine developed with rH514 in specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens. To evaluate the vaccines' efficacy in the presence of MDA and to ensure a uniform level of MDA, passively transferred antibody (PTA) was used as a model to mimic MDA in 1-day-old SPF chickens. Our results showed that the rH514-P29.2 inactivated vaccine induced significantly higher HI titers than the rH514 inactivated vaccine in the presence of PTA. More importantly, it reduced viral shedding after being challenged with H514 in the presence of PTA.

conclusionsOur results suggest that vaccine antigens fused with two copies of P29 can decrease the interference of MDA on immunity in chickens. Overall, our results provide a new strategy for overcoming MDA interference.
