Divergent antibody recognition profiles are generated by protective mRNA vaccines against Marburg and Ravn viruses.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The first-ever recent Marburg virus (MARV) outbreak in Tanzania and recent emergences in Rwanda, Ghana and Equatorial Guinea underscore the importance of therapeutic or vaccine development against the virus, for which none are approved. mRNA vaccines were proven successful in a pandemic-response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, making it an appealing platform to target pathogenic emerging viruses. Here, we develop 1-methyl-pseudouridine-modified mRNA vaccines formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNP) targeting the glycoproteins (GP) of MARV and the closely-related Ravn virus (RAVV). Vaccination of female guinea pigs elicits robust binding and neutralizing antibodies and confers complete protection against homologous and heterologous virus replication, disease and death. Characterization of antibody responses identifies disparities in the binding and functional profiles between the two viruses and regions in GP that are broadly reactive. The glycan cap is highlighted as an immunoreactive site for orthomarburgviruses, inducing antibody responses that are virus dependent. Profiling the antibody responses against the two viruses provides insight into how antigenic differences may affect the response towards conserved GP regions, which would otherwise be predicted to be cross-reactive, and has implications for the future design of broadly protective vaccines. The results support the use of mRNA-LNPs against pathogens of high consequence.
