An antigen panel to assess the regional relevance of foot and mouth disease vaccines.
Article in NPJ vaccines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Despite widespread use of inactivated vaccines to control foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), there is no systematic approach to demonstrate the regional relevance of these products against the specific serotypes and strains that circulate in endemic countries in Africa and Asia. Failure to adopt independent testing of FMD vaccines has contributed to poor trust in their quality and a lack of investment in vaccination programmes. Therefore, a reference antigen panel representing four serotypes, tailored for East Africa, has been established and used to measure FMDV-specific antibody responses in cattle after administration of FMD vaccines commercially available in the region. This revealed inconsistencies and gaps in cross-neutralisation responses that are evident for some vaccines even after giving booster doses. It is concluded that the East Africa reference antigen panel can be used to evaluate FMD vaccine potency and drive up vaccine quality. Further panels could be developed and deployed for other endemic regions.
