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

backgroundThe transmembrane fusion (F) protein of RSV plays important roles in RSV pathogenesis as it mediates the fusion between the virus and the target cell membrane. During the fusion process, the F protein transits from a metastable state (prefusion, preF) to a stable state (postfusion, postF) after the merging of the virus and cell membranes. The majority of highly neutralizing antibodies induced by natural infection or immunization target the preF form, which makes it the preferred antigen for vaccine development.

methodsHere, we designed an effective RSV mRNA vaccine, STR-V003, consisting of mRNA encoding preF protein in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). The immunogenicity, protection efficacy and toxicity were measured in multiple animal models.

resultsSTR-V003 demonstrated robust immunogenicity in both mice and cotton rats, inducing high levels of neutralizing antibodies and RSV preF-specific IgG antibodies and significantly reducing the RSV viral loads in the lung and nose tissue of challenged animals. In addition, STR-V003 did not show significant enhancement of lung pathology without causing vaccine-enhanced disease (VED). The repeated dose general toxicology studies and local tolerance studies of STR-V003 were evaluated in rats and non-human primate (NHP).

conclusionsSTR-V003 demonstrates a favorable safety profile and induces robust protective immunity against RSV.
