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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesPorcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), particularly the emerging GII genotype, poses a severe threat to the swine industry in affected regions, primarily in Asia. Current vaccines based on classical strains often provide limited cross-protection against these heterogeneous variants, though it should be noted that these vaccines are primarily designed to induce maternal immunity in sows. The objective of this study was to develop a novel inactivated vaccine using an emerging PEDV GIIc variant and evaluate its immunogenicity and cross-protective efficacy against heterologous strains.

methodsA novel PEDV strain, designated PEDV-HeN2024, was isolated from clinical samples and identified through cell culture, immunofluorescence assay (IFA), genetic sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. An inactivated vaccine was prepared by emulsifying the purified virus with ISA 201 VG adjuvant (1:1,

resultsThe isolated PEDV-HeN2024 strain demonstrated pathogenicity, causing severe diarrhea and 100% mortality in PEDV-naïve neonatal piglets. Sera from vaccinated animals showed potent cross-neutralizing activity against homologous GIIc, as well as heterologous GIIa and GIIb strains. In challenge studies, vaccinated piglets were significantly protected against clinical disease, showing no diarrhea or viral shedding, and maintained normal intestinal architecture.

conclusionsThe inactivated vaccine developed from the emerging PEDV GIIc variant elicits robust humoral immunity and provides cross-protection against prevalent heterologous GII strains. These findings highlight its potential as a promising spectrum vaccine candidate for controlling PEDV outbreaks. This study underscores the importance of using recently circulating strains for vaccine development to overcome the limitations of current vaccines.
