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

As an emerging flavivirus, Duck Tembusu virus (DTMUV) causes severe neurological disorder and acute egg drop syndrome in poultry. Herein, we report the development of a highly effective mRNA vaccine against DTMUV using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology. We engineered an mRNA construct encoding the pre-membrane (prM) and envelope (E) proteins of DTMUV, with an upstream signal peptide to enhance secretion. Two doses of our mRNA vaccine elicited robust neutralizing antibody titers and conferred 100% protection against challenge with a prevalent virulent DTMUV strain. Notably, in a head-to-head comparison, the neutralizing antibody titers induced by our mRNA vaccine were approximately 40-fold of a commercial live-attenuated vaccine (FX2010-180P). Importantly, our mRNA vaccine demonstrated efficient maternal antibody transfer via egg yolk deposition, indicating the potential for protecting offspring through maternal immunity. These findings demonstrate the superiority of our mRNA vaccine platform, as well as the feasibility of applying mRNA vaccines in poultry.
