Coordinated early immune response in the lungs is required for effective control of SARS-CoV-2 replication.

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 waning of virus-neutralizing antibodies, protection against severe SARS-CoV-2 in the majority of immune individuals remains high, but the underlying immune mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, rhesus macaques with pre-existing immunity from Novavax WA-1 and/or P.1 vaccines and WA-1 or P.1 infection are immunized with a bivalent WA-1/Omicron BA.5 Novavax vaccine ten months after the last exposure. The boost vaccination primarily increases the frequency of cross-reactive spike (S)-specific antibodies and B cells instead of inducing de novo BA.5-specific responses. Reinfection with heterologous Omicron XBB.1.5 six months after the boost vaccination results in low levels of virus replication in the respiratory tract compared with virus-naïve results from other studies. Whereas systemic S-specific immunity remains largely unchanged in all animals, the animals with complete protection from infection exhibit a stronger influx of S-specific IgG, monocytes, B cells and T cells into the bronchioalveolar space combined with expansion of CD69
