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

Parainfluenza viruses are a common cause of respiratory illness in many species. In this study, experimental, alphavirus-derived RNA particle vaccines either with or without adjuvant were evaluated against porcine parainfluenza virus 1 (PPIV1) challenge and compared to live virus exposure. Groups of ten, three-week-old pigs were vaccinated intramuscularly with an adjuvanted RNA particle (RPAdj/C) or non-adjuvanted RP (RP/C) or administered an intranasal live exposure (LE/C) dose of PPIV1 at 0- and 21-days post vaccination (DPV) followed by challenge with PPIV1 at 40 DPV. In addition, two groups were included as non-vaccinated, non-challenged (NV/NC) and non-vaccinated, challenged (NV/C) controls. Intranasal virus exposure and RP vaccination, regardless of adjuvant, reduced PPIV1 shedding in nasal swabs by 5 days post inoculation (DPI). All vaccinated or exposed pigs seroconverted as shown by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and serum virus neutralization. The antibody isotype detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) LE/C was predominantly IgA while RP vaccination induced an IgG response. Reduced PPIV1 antigen was observed in the LE/C, RP/C and RPAdj/C groups in lung, trachea, or nasal turbinate epithelium. Additionally, the RPAdj vaccine significantly reduced nasal shedding compared to NV/C pigs although not as much as LE/C pigs. These results suggest vaccination could mitigate PPIV1 infection in commercial systems.
