Quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of non-replicating vaccines for controlling African swine fever in domestic pigs: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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.
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
Background: The African swine fever virus (ASFV), prevalent globally, causes high mortality and morbidity in domestic pigs. However, there is a lack of effective treatment or vaccines against ASFV infection despite the ongoing research in this field. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we conducted a quantitative evaluation of the efficacy of non-replicating vaccines against ASFV. The vaccine efficacy (VE) was analyzed based on three key disease outcomes: mortality, fever, and clinical symptoms after infection. Results: The search of relevant electronic databases yielded 23 studies for inclusion in the review. Vaccination with subunit vaccines significantly reduced mortality risk in vaccinated pigs compared to that in controls ( Conclusion: Currently, subunit vaccines are more likely to serve as long-term options for vaccine development strategies. Further research is essential to deepen our understanding of the roles and significance of humoral and cellular immune responses against ASFV, and to identify critical viral antigens that can induce effective protective immunity.
