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.

Abstract

Background: This study (NCT05972993) evaluated a novel mRNA vaccine construct using the SARS-CoV-2 BA.5 Spike (S) protein as the model antigen (mRNA-CR-04). Methods: This first-in-human Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 72 participants in Part A (sentinel vaccination and dose escalation) and 42 in Part B (dose exploration). Adult participants 18-49 years of age were randomized in 3 groups to receive one dose of mRNA-CR-04 (either 10, 30, or 100 µg) or placebo (3:1) in Part A, and 3 µg, 10 µg, or placebo (3:3:1) in Part B. Vaccine safety and immunogenicity in terms of neutralizing titers were assessed until 6 months postinvestigational product administration. Results: Solicited adverse events (AEs) were mostly mild to moderate and transient. In Part A, Grade 3 reactogenicity was only observed in the 100 µg group ( Conclusions: The investigational mRNA-CR-04 vaccine was generally well tolerated, and all doses induced a robust immune response against the encoded antigen at doses ranging between 3 and 100 µg. Further investigation of potential vaccine candidates using this novel mRNA platform is warranted.
