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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPorcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) remains one of the most economically significant pathogens in the global swine industry. Despite the availability of commercial vaccines for over three decades, they fail to induce sterile immunity and often provide inconsistent protection against heterologous PRRSV strains. This study aimed to predict vaccine immunogenicity by detecting strain-specific immune responses that related to an immune correlate of protection (CoP) against different PRRSV-2 strains.

methodsPost-weaning pigs were vaccinated with five commercially available PRRSV-2 vaccines or received sterile PBS injection as a control. At 28 days post-vaccination (dpv), all pigs were humanely euthanized for large-volume blood collection to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and plasma, establishing the immune bank. PBMCs and plasma from each group were then tested against six PRRSV-2 strains to evaluate immune responses. In addition, T cell epitope coverage between vaccine and field PRRSV-2 strains was assessed using the EpiCC (in silico) tool to enhance predictive capacity.

resultsWhile neutralizing antibodies were undetectable in all vaccinated pigs at 28 dpv, PRRSV-specific IFNγ-producing cells were detected at various levels in each vaccinated group following restimulation with different PRRSV-2 strains. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed for the EpiCC coverage of the N gene and mean IFNγ responses to VR2332 (SLA class I and II) and NC24-6 (SLA class II).

conclusionsThe PRRSV immune bank demonstrated potential as a tool for predicting vaccine immunogenicity against different PRRSV-2 strains and EpiCC provides additional information on T cell epitope cross conservation. The combined approach may provide a valuable framework for selecting PRRSV vaccines for more effective prevention and control in endemic areas.
