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
backgroundRabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) is an acute, hemorrhagic and highly lethal infectious disease caused by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV), which causes huge economic losses to the rabbit breeding industry. Moreover, there is limited cross-protection between the two different serotypes of classic RHDV (GI.1) and RHDV2 (GI.2). The shortcomings of traditional inactivated vaccines have led to the development of novel subunit vaccines that can protect against both strains, and the VP60 capsid protein is the ideal antigenic protein. This study focused on developing a bivalent RHDV vaccine that can prevent infection with both GI.1 and GI.2 strains. METHODOLOGY: Baculovirus vectors containing classic RHDV and RHDV2 VP60 were co-transfected with linearized baculovirus into sf9 cells and transferred to baculovirus via homologous recombination of the VP60 gene. Infected sf9 cells were lysed, and after purification via Ni-NTA chromatography, VLPs were observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to evaluate the immunogenicity of the chimeric RHDV VLP vaccine in rabbits, the RHDV VP60-specific antibody, IL-4, IFN-γ and neutralizing antibody titers were analyzed in serum using ELISA and HI.
resultsThe recombinant baculovirus system successfully expressed chimeric RHDV VLPs with a diameter of 32-40 nm. After immunization, it could produce specific antibodies, IL-4 and IFN-γ. Following the second immunization, neutralizing antibodies, determined using hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assays, were elicited.
conclusionsThese data show that the chimeric RHDV VLP bivalent vaccine for immunized New Zealand rabbits can induce humoral immunity and cellular immunity in vivo, and the immunization effect of the high-dose group is similar to that of the current commercial vaccine.
