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 upsurge of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) in Africa and its global spread highlight the need for improved vaccines. The development of new recombinant vaccines, including mRNA and protein nanoparticles, depends on understanding the biology of poxviruses and selecting the most protective immunogens. Animal studies demonstrate that vaccines need to target the antigens of both infectious forms - the mature virion and the enveloped virion - which display surface proteins responsible for cell entry and cell-to-cell spread, respectively. Although some of these proteins have been shown to induce protective antibodies, others including most of those that are essential for membrane fusion remain to be tested. We review the structures of orthopoxvirus surface proteins as a guide to the selection of optimal antigens for recombinant vaccines.
