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.

Abstract

The safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the original formulation of the investigational mRNA-1010 vaccine for seasonal influenza were investigated in two randomized, active-controlled, phase 3 trials in adults (NCT05415462 and NCT05566639), and the results were used to evaluate hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) titers as correlates of risk and protection against influenza-like illness. mRNA-1010 (50-µg) demonstrated an acceptable reactogenicity and safety profile among the >14,000 adult participants vaccinated in both trials. The efficacy profile of mRNA-1010 was generally reflective of immunogenicity findings, with higher immune responses against influenza A strains and lower responses against influenza B strains relative to an active comparator (licensed inactivated influenza vaccine). An analysis of HAI titers as a correlate of protection against influenza infection provided support for its use as a surrogate endpoint for mRNA-1010, similar to licensed influenza vaccines. These findings support further optimization and development of mRNA-1010 against seasonal influenza.
