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

backgroundSudan virus and Marburg virus are high priority biological threat pathogens with fatality rates of 25-90%. Recent outbreaks in Uganda, Equatorial Guinea, and Rwanda between 2022 and 2025 emphasise the critical need for effective vaccines. The aim of this phase 1b study was to determine clinical safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of these monovalent vaccines. Plasmapheresis was used to collect hyper-immune plasma for use in future assay standardisation.

methodsParticipants received a single intramuscular injection of either cAd3-Sudan or cAd3-Marburg at 1 × 10

findingsThirty-two healthy adults were enrolled in the trial; the most commonly reported signs within 7 days of vaccination were mild headache and mild or moderate myalgia. No SAEs or deaths were reported. Binding antibodies (IgG) persisted at 9 weeks in all subjects in both groups; time to seroconversion was 14 days in both groups; peak IgG response across study participants was achieved by Day 29.

interpretationThese vaccines are safe, immunogenic and rapidly induced glycoprotein-specific antibody responses in all participants.
