In silico design and immunoinformatics assessment of a multiepitope vaccine targeting borealpox virus.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Borealpox virus is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with rising global prevalence and no approved vaccines or targeted treatments. This study aimed to design a multi-epitope subunit vaccine against Borealpox virus. The viral cell-surface binding protein was selected as the primary antigenic target due to its role in host-cell attachment. The finalized vaccine construct comprises 163 amino acids and includes β-defensin 3 as an adjuvant, a PADRE sequence, and suitable linkers to enhance immunogenicity. Structural prediction revealed a stable conformation, with 97.4% of residues located in the most favored regions of the Ramachandran plot. The vaccine exhibited a VaxiJen antigenicity score of 0.7089 and was predicted to be non-allergenic. Population coverage analysis indicated that the selected epitopes cover 96.22% of the global population. Five discontinuous B-cell epitopes were identified, with top scores reaching 0.823. Molecular docking demonstrated strong binding of the vaccine construct to both TLR2 and TLR4 receptors, with docking scores of - 1210.7 and - 321.55 for the TLR2-vaccine complex. Molecular dynamics simulations over 100 ns showed structural stability, with RMSD values ranging between 0.35 and 0.42 nm. Immune simulations predicted complete antigen clearance by day 7, accompanied by robust IgM and IgG1 responses and elevated IFN-γ and IL-2 levels. Codon optimization achieved an optimal GC content of 48.47% for Escherichia coli expression, and in silico cloning showed successful vector insertion. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are required to validate the vaccine protective efficacy and safety.
