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/

objectives

methodsA synthetic gene encoding immunodominant epitopes from the gB and gD proteins and tegument phosphoprotein of BoAHV-1 and BoAHV-5 was designed to produce a multi-epitope recombinant antigen, expressed both in a prokaryotic system (RecBoAHV) and by a modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA-BoAHV) viral vector. The binding affinity of MHC-I to bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) was predicted using the NetMHCpan tool (version 4.1). The immunogenicity of the vaccine candidates was evaluated in rabbit and mouse models, using prime-boost immunization protocols. Sera from bovines naturally infected with BoAHV-1 and/or BoAHV-5 were used to evaluate the chimeric protein antigenicity. Immune responses were assessed by indirect ELISA and Western blot.

resultsThe recombinant multi-epitope protein was effectively recognized by IgG and IgM antibodies in sera from cattle naturally infected with BoAHV-1 or BoAHV-5, confirming the antigenic specificity. Both RecBoAHV and MVA-RecBoAHV induced strong and specific humoral immune responses in rabbits following a homologous prime-boost regimen. In mice, both homologous and heterologous prime-boost protocols revealed robust immunogenicity, particularly after the second booster dose.

conclusionsThese findings highlight the immunogenic potential of the RecBoAHV multi-epitope vaccine candidates for controlling BoAHV-1 and BoAHV-5 infections. Further characterization of these vaccine formulations is currently underway in bovine, the target specie.
