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

Vaccines are complex biological medicinal products developed with the aim to generate protective immunity against specific infectious diseases in a particular target population. Regulatory authorities, who have the role of approving vaccines, ensure that these meet the agreed criteria for quality, safety and efficacy, and assess their benefit and risk profile before and after a marketing authorization is granted. In the European Union/European Economic Area, the vast majority of the vaccines currently available has been approved on the basis of clinical efficacy or immunogenicity data relying on humoral immune responses. Per contrary, there are no vaccines approved based on immunogenicity endpoints exclusively focused on cell mediated immunity, despite the known relevance of T cells immunity for protection against a variety of infectious diseases. We here review a few relevant cases of vaccines targeting infectious diseases for which data on cell mediated immunity have been considered in the context of regulatory filing, and provide our perspective on the way forward.
