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

Zika virus (ZIKV) caused unprecedented outbreaks in South America and the Caribbean in 2015-2016, leading primarily to a series of abnormalities in neonates termed congenital Zika syndrome. The threat of ZIKV reemergence has seen the development of multiple ZIKV vaccines that are at the preclinical stage or in early-stage clinical trials. Herein, we describe a pathway to the development of ZIKV vaccines generated using a baculovirus-insect cell expression system, which is widely applied for the manufacture of biologics for human use. Virus-like particle (VLP) vaccines comprising CprME and subviral particle (SVP) vaccines comprising prME were evaluated for their ability to mediate protection against ZIKV challenge in
