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

Nipah and Hendra viruses are lethal zoonotic pathogens with no approved vaccines or therapeutics. mRNA produced via in vitro transcription enables endogenous protein expression and cost reduction. Here, we systematically screened natural and artificial untranslated regions (UTRs) and identified an optimal combination for expressing henipavirus-neutralizing antibody 1E5. We generated mRNA-1E5 encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-1E5-LNPs). In vitro, mRNA-1E5-LNPs achieved functional antibody expression levels of >1500 ng/mL. In BALB/c mice, intravenous administration of mRNA-1E5-LNPs induced rapid antibody elevation (peak at day 3), without hepatic toxicity or tissue inflammation. We established two Hendra pseudovirus models in biosafety level 2 facilities to evaluate the efficacy of mRNA-1E5-LNPs. Low-dose prophylactic administration effectively blocked entry of the Hendra pseudovirus. Notably, a single 0.5 mg/kg dose of mRNA-1E5-LNPs, stored at 4 °C for two months and administered 7 days prior, provided good protection. Our findings provide a therapeutic strategy for henipaviral infections and a blueprint for the development of mRNA-based antibodies against emerging viruses.
