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 development of an effective vaccine against Helicobacter pylori remains a major global health priority, aimed at reducing infection prevalence and preventing diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. Despite extensive research, no vaccine has yet demonstrated durable efficacy in clinical settings. This study describes the development of a novel multi-epitope vaccine targeting H. pylori. Sixteen B- and T-cell epitopes derived from six virulence factors were identified using bioinformatics tools and assembled into a Multi-Epitope Unit (MEU) antigen. The MEU antigen was formulated either as a flagellin-adjuvanted protein or delivered via a recombinant Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) viral vector. Vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy were assessed in H. pylori SS1-challenged mice. Both formulations induced robust MEU-specific antibody and CD4
