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

Recombinant Orf virus (rORFV) vectors have proven safe and immunogenic in human clinical trials but the cellular correlates of antibody induction by this parapoxviral platform remain ill-defined. To characterize antigen-specific B cell responses at the cellular level, we performed adoptive transfer experiments with monoclonal B cells specific for the glycoproteins of either vesicular stomatitis virus or lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Immunizations of mice with rORFV delivering these glycoproteins stimulated antigen-specific B cells to engage in germinal center (GC) reactions and to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells and memory B cells. These responses could be recalled upon homologous rORFV boost. Moreover, rORFV induced antigen-specific CD8
