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

Background: Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of ID93 + GLA-SE in BCG-vaccinated healthy adults. Methods: A comprehensive electronic search on PubMed (Medline), ScienceDirect, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Central database was conducted from inception till August 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a target population of BCG-vaccinated healthy adults. This review was conducted according to (PRISMA) criteria and registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024601450). This meta-analysis used Review Manager and forest plots for visual display. The outcomes were displayed as risk ratios (RR) with a 95% confidence interval. Results: The ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine showed strong immunogenicity, particularly in high doses, with robust IgG responses sustained up to day 421 in all studies, significantly higher than baseline, and seroconversion rates remained high through day 84. CD4 T-cell responses peaked after the third dose and remained elevated through day 421, whereas CD8 T-cell responses were minimal. Regarding adverse effects, the ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine significantly increases fatigue (RR 3.24, Conclusion: The ID93 + GLA-SE vaccine shows a solid safety profile and enhances immune responses, especially IgG and CD4+ T-cell activity, which is crucial for TB defense. Higher doses improve efficacy but increase side effects, highlighting the need for dose optimization. As a potential alternative to the BCG vaccine, especially in drug-resistant TB regions, further research should refine dosage and assess long-term safety.
