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

backgroundInvasive non-typhoid Salmonella (iNTS) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We assess the safety and immunogenicity of an outer membrane vesicle vaccine (iNTS-GMMA) derived from the two most common serovars, S. Enteritidis (SEn) and S. Typhimurium (STm).

methodsThis single centre, randomised within cohort, placebo-controlled dose escalation single-blind with blinded assessment trial included healthy people aged 18-55 according protocol eligibility criteria. A sentinel cohort (Group 1) was randomised 1:1 to a lower dose (10.6 μg total O-antigen [OAg]) or placebo, a subsequent cohort was randomised 1:1 to the full dose (40 μg total OAg) or placebo (Group 2), and the last cohort was randomised 2:1 (Group 3) to the full dose (40 μg total OAg) or placebo at CCVTM, University of Oxford. Participants received three intra-muscular administrations at 0, 2 and 6 months. EudraCT Number 2020-000510-14.

findingsBetween May and November 2022, 7 participants were assigned to Group 1, 6 to Group 2 and 18 to Group 3. 26/31 completed follow-up at 12 months. No SAEs or SUSARs were reported. The most common adverse events (AE) were injection site reactions. All participants (19/19, 100%) in the iNTS-GMMA groups reported at least one solicited AEs, which were mostly mild to moderate in severity. 28 days following vaccination, unsolicited AEs at least possibly related to iNTS-GMMA were predominantly mild (6, 50%) and (4, 33.3%) moderate. An increase from baseline in serovar-specific OAg IgG levels peaked at day 28 following full dose (SEn: GMC 865.4 [95% CI 404.9, 1849.6]; STm: 833.2 [401.8, 1727.9]) compared with placebo (SEn: 73.7 [22.4, 242.3]; STm: 41.1 [17.6, 95.5]). Serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) peaked at day 28 following first vaccination (SEn: 38,722.7 [14,209, 105,528.1]; STm: 29,989 [18,528.6, 48,537.9]) compared with placebo (SEn: 9976 [4261.1, 23,355.5]; STm: 6694.3 [2742, 16,343.6]).

interpretationThe iNTS-GMMA vaccine was immunogenic and did not show safety concerns precluding further development, supporting progression to further phase I and II clinical trials.
