Dosing and Serostatus Shape the Efficacy of Adenovirus, mRNA, and Protein Vaccines.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Despite the widespread use of adenovirus, mRNA, and protein-based vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, their relative immunological profiles and protective efficacies remain incompletely defined. Here, we compared antigen kinetics, innate and adaptive immune responses, and protective efficacy following Ad5, mRNA, and protein vaccination in mice. Ad5 induced the most sustained antigen expression, but mRNA induced the most potent interferon responses, associated with robust antigen presentation and costimulation. Unlike Ad5 vaccines, which were hindered by pre-existing vector immunity, mRNA vaccines retained efficacy after repeated use. As a single-dose regimen, Ad5 vaccines elicited superior immune responses. However, as a prime-boost regimen, and particularly in Ad5 seropositive mice, mRNA vaccines outperformed the other vaccine platforms. These findings highlight strengths of each vaccine platform and underscore the importance of host serostatus in determining optimal vaccine performance.
