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

Recent advances in microneedle array patch (MAP) technology have highlighted its potential for efficient and accessible vaccine delivery. In this study, we developed a pillar-guided MAP (PG-MAP) loaded with a recombinant vaccinia virus (r-DIs-S) expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) gene. Our fabrication method enabled precise localization of a high viral titer (> 9.4 ± 1.8 × 10⁶ PFU per patch), as verified by plaque assay. In vivo immunization in mice demonstrated that the r-DIs-S-loaded PG-MAP elicited robust S-protein-specific IgG and neutralizing antibody responses. Upon SARS-CoV-2 challenge, all PG-MAP-immunized mice survived and maintained their body weight, whereas the control groups experienced severe results. These results demonstrated that the PG-MAP platform enables precise dosing, maintains viral stability, and induces potent protective immunity, offering a promising alternative for decentralized, minimally invasive vaccination strategies against emerging infectious diseases.
