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

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is associated with severe neurological complications such as congenital microcephaly, yet no safe and effective vaccine is currently available. A critical challenge in ZIKV vaccine development arises from cross-reactive, non- or sub-neutralizing antibodies, which may enhance dengue virus (DENV) infection through antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). Herein, we report a vaccine strategy utilizing Mi3 nanoparticles to display the envelope (E) protein domain III (EDIII) of ZIKV, which induces protective immunity against ZIKV infection in murine models. Compared to an EDIII subunit vaccine, the Mi3-EDIII nanoparticle vaccine elicited significantly higher antibody responses and stronger cell-mediated immune responses. In C57BL/6 mice, maternal immunization with Mi3-EDIII protected the neonates against ZIKV-caused symptoms, including body weight loss, neurological abnormalities, retardation of brain development, and mortality. In interferon-α/β receptor knockout (Ifnar1
