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

Maternally derived antibodies (MDAs) play a vital role in protecting neonates from infectious diseases, but their presence at the time of vaccination can interfere with vaccine-induced immune responses, thereby reducing vaccine effectiveness. MDA interference has been documented in pigs vaccinated with whole-inactivated virus (WIV) vaccines against swine influenza A virus (IAV). This study evaluated the efficacy of a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated DNA (LNP-DNA) vaccine against swine IAV in the presence and absence of MDAs, comparing it to a WIV vaccine. In MDA-negative piglets, both the LNP-DNA and WIV vaccines induced strong immune responses and effectively prevented the vaccinated animals from being infected with the homologous IAV strain. However, in MDA-positive piglets, the WIV vaccine failed to trigger significant antibody or T-cell responses and offered no protection against viral shedding or lung damage. In contrast, the LNP-DNA vaccine elicited stronger immune responses in MDA-positive pigs, reduced nasal viral shedding, and prevented lung lesions. These findings demonstrate that the LNP-DNA vaccine overcomes MDA interference, making it a promising strategy for enhancing vaccine efficacy in neonatal animals with maternal antibodies. IMPORTANCE: Maternally derived antibody (MDA) interference is a major obstacle to developing effective vaccines for neonates. In pigs, MDAs significantly impair immune responses to a whole-inactivated virus vaccine. Here, we show that vaccination with a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated DNA vaccine can partially overcome MDA interference. These findings underscore the potential of the LNP-DNA vaccine as a viable strategy for effectively immunizing MDA-positive populations. Additionally, LNP-DNA vaccination in young pigs provides a valuable model for exploring the immunological mechanisms behind MDA-mediated suppression of vaccine-induced immunity.
