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

J paramyxovirus (JPV) is a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA virus in the Jeilongvirus genus of the Paramyxoviridae family. Recently, a recombinant JPV lacking the small hydrophobic protein (SH) gene (rJPV-∆SH) has been used as a viral vector for avian influenza virus H5N1 and HIV vaccine development. However, the rJPV-∆SH vector still causes morbidity and mortality in mice. To further develop this vaccine platform, we generated multiple recombinant JPV (rJPV) mutants and tested their pathogenicity in mice. We found that rJPV lacking the syncytial protein (SP) (rJPV-∆SP), rJPV with both SH and SP genes deleted (rJPV-ΔSHΔSP) and a JPV lacking coding sequences for SH, SP, and the putative X open reading frame (rJPV-∆3) were pathogenic in mice. Incorporating mutations in the L gene that mediate pathogenesis into rJPV-∆3 (rJPV-∆3-LW-L) resulted in a fully attenuated virus in mice. rJPV∆3-LW-L-immunized mice were protected during lethal JPV challenge. Furthermore, intranasally administrated rJPV-∆3-LW-L expressing Nipah virus (NiV) fusion (F) induced anti-NiV-F antibodies in mice and Syrian hamsters, and a single-dose intranasal immunization with rJPV-∆3-NiV-F-LW-L induced complete protection against lethal NiV challenge in the hamster model. Our work has identified a novel intranasal vaccine vector that is fully attenuated in mice and induces protective immunity in animals.
