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

The first generation of Spike-based COVID-19 vaccines has reduced the risk of hospitalization, serious illness, and death caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections. However, waning immunity induced by these vaccines has failed to prevent immune escape, resulting in the emergence of multiple variants of concern (VOCs) and the prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesize that a next-generation Coronavirus (CoV) vaccine incorporating highly conserved SARS-CoV-2 T cell antigens would confer potent, broad, and long-lasting cross-protective immunity against multiple VOCs. In the present study, we identified ten non-Spike antigens that are common and highly conserved among 8.7 million SARS-CoV-2 strains, twenty-one VOCs, SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, seasonal human common cold CoVs, and animal CoVs. Seven of the ten antigens were preferentially recognized by CD8
