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

The detection of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) genotype V (GV) in humans in Korea in 2015 has raised concerns regarding its potential public health impact. Current JEV vaccines, based on genotype Ⅲ (GⅢ) strains, exhibit suboptimal neutralizing activity against JEV GV, thereby underscoring the need for genotype-specific vaccines. To address this, we developed the KNIH (GV) vaccine strain optimized for enhanced production efficiency. We evaluated its neutralizing activity and protective efficacy in a murine model. The currently available GⅢ-based vaccine (Beijing-1 strain) exhibited limited neutralizing efficacy against JEV GV. Conversely, the KNIH-based vaccine elicited strong neutralizing responses against JEV GV but exhibited reduced cross-neutralization against JEV GⅢ. In conclusion, the K15P38-KNIH strain represents a promising vaccine candidate for mitigating the risk associated with JEV GV reemergence. Future studies will focus on evaluating the efficacy of bivalent vaccination strategies against other circulating JEV genotypes in Korea.
