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

The lack of an approved influenza vaccine for infants <6 months, coupled with the requirement for annual updates of current vaccines, warrants the development of a universal vaccine that can confer protection in young infants. Here we test the ability of a ferritin nanoparticle universal influenza vaccine (H1ssF) containing the stem region of hemagglutinin (HA) adjuvanted with AddaVax to elicit responses in newborn African green monkeys (AGM). Vaccinated newborns show robust HA stem-specific IgG responses but, despite the high antibody levels, viral load in the lung following H1N1 Ca09 challenge is variable among animals. Further analysis indicates that viral clearance is correlated with the presence of antibodies with neutralizing and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis activity. Our findings show that newborn AGM can generate functional HA stem-specific antibodies for viral clearance following vaccination with H1ssF+AddaVax and support further investigation of H1ssF as a universal vaccine for this vulnerable human population.
