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

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant cause of disease in the young and old. Recently, pre-fusion F protein vaccines for RSV have received food and drug administration (FDA) approval to protect adults aged 60 years and older; however, vaccines evaluated against RSV typically do not elicit complete or durable protective immunity. We previously showed that an RSV G protein central conserved domain (CCD) nanoparticle vaccine containing an S177Q mutation (NP-S177Q) induced favorable immunogenicity and RSV-neutralizing antibodies compared with RSV G protein vaccination alone in mice. Boosting BALB/c mice with NP-S177Q vaccines improved correlates of protection and reduced markers of immunopathology following RSV challenge. This study examined microparticle (MP) vaccines displaying the CCD with an RSV G S177Q mutation (MP-S177Q) adjuvanted with monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) in BALB/c mice. Our findings show that mice adjuvanted MP-S177Q vaccination develop effective viral neutralization compared with MP-WT and MP-S177Q vaccination and have improved bronchoalveolar Th1-type cytokine responses following the RSV challenge compared with MP-WT or vehicle-vaccinated mice. This study shows that a rationally mutated RSV G protein MP vaccine is safe, effective, and can advance precision RSV vaccines.
