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

The COVID-19 pandemic saw the first extensive use of adenoviral vector vaccines, with over 3 billion doses produced during the first year of the pandemic alone and an estimated 6 million lives saved. These vaccines were safe and effective, and could be produced at low cost in several continents allowing widespread use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite their successful deployment against SARS-CoV-2, their impact has been overshadowed by relatively lower immunogenicity in contrast to mRNA vaccine technologies and very rare but serious adverse events such as vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopaenia (VITT). The next-generation of adenoviral vector vaccines must address these challenges: here, we explore strategies to improve immunogenicity and safety by novel serotype selection, vector engineering, capsid modification and new delivery technologies, and discuss opportunities for next-generation adenoviral vectors against infectious disease and cancer.
