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

Indonesian vaccine producer (PT BIOFARMA), conducted a study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a new COVID-19 vaccine candidate. This vaccine is based on a recombinant subunit protein platform, with the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) as its target antigen. The study compared the candidate's safety and immunogenicity to the control group vaccine, the Sinovac vaccine, 28 days after administration. This was an observer-blinded and randomized Phase 1 trial which recruited 175 subjects. The subject received 0.5 ml of vaccine in two doses. The subjects were split into five treatment groups, consisting of different combinations of doses between RBD and CpG. The safety of this vaccine was evaluated within 7 days after the first dose and for 6 months after the second dose, while the immunogenicity was evaluated on days 14 and 28 after the second dose. The overall incidence of AEs was 54.86% from the beginning of the vaccination to 28 days after each injection. Most AEs were local pain and had no serious AEs. The study revealed a significant rise in the Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of IgG antibodies in every group, indicating a strong immune response. The phase I data demonstrated that the new vaccine candidate showed promising results in safety and immunogenicity.
