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

Hendra (HeV) and Nipah (NiV) are closely related, highly pathogenic paramyxoviruses which cause severe, often fatal disease in humans and animals. There are no approved vaccines to protect humans from HeV or NiV infection, although an ideal vaccine countermeasure should provide a protective immune response against both viruses due to the geographic overlap of the natural bat reservoir and recurrent zoonotic spillover events. Here, we developed a single-cycle, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vaccine displaying the HeV (G) glycoprotein (G*rVSV∆G-HeV-G) and performed vaccination, challenge, and passive transfer studies in Syrian golden hamsters. Intramuscular vaccination with a single 1.0E7 PFU dose of G*rVSV∆G-HeV-G uniformly protected from lethal HeV and NiV infection, with neutralizing antibodies elicited by the G*rVSV∆G-HeV-G vaccine identified as a correlate of protection in subsequent passive transfer experiments. Our data indicate that the experimental G*rVSV∆G-HeV-G vaccine is effective in protecting against lethal henipavirus disease in a sensitive animal model.
