Immunogenicity and safety of a recombinant gE-Fc fusion protein subunit vaccine for herpes zoster in adults ≥50 years of age: a randomised, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial.
Trial report in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 licensed adjuvanted recombinant glycoprotein E (gE) subunit vaccine (HZ/su) is highly effective against herpes zoster (HZ). This randomised, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial (ChiCTR2300079076) compared the immunogenicity and safety of a novel gE-Fc fusion protein vaccine candidate (LZ901) with HZ/su in 300 healthy adults aged ≥50 years without prior HZ vaccination in Wuxi, China. Participants received either two doses of LZ901 (30-day interval; n = 151) or HZ/su (60-day interval; n = 149). The primary outcomes was the proportion of participants with simultaneous positive responses to two or more cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2, TNF-α, or CD40L) 30 days after the second dose (referred to as gE-specific CD4
