A Modular Vaccine Platform Against SARS-CoV-2 Based on Self-Assembled Protein Nanoparticles.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgent need for deployable vaccine platforms capable of rapidly responding to emerging and re-emerging variants of human coronaviruses. BP26, an outer membrane protein of the zoonotic bacterium Brucella, self-assembles into a highly ordered, barrel-like nanoparticle that can serve as a vaccine platform, demonstrating immunogenicity against the influenza virus and cancer when combined with specific antigens. Here, we expanded its versatility by incorporating the SpyTag/SpyCatcher pair, enabling modular and site-specific antigen conjugation via simple mixing. SpyCatcher was genetically fused to BP26, and SpyTag to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, generating RBD-displaying BP26 nanoparticles (BP26-RBD). Immunization of mice with BP26-RBD elicited strong RBD-specific and neutralizing antibody responses and conferred protection against lethal SARS-CoV-2 challenge. This plug-and-play nanoparticle design supports antigen production in diverse expression systems, retains antigenic structure, and allows multivalent display, providing a cost-effective and rapidly adaptable strategy for next-generation vaccines targeting evolving viral threats.
