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

Seasonal influenza viruses evade immunity through antigenic drift, enabling escape from inhibitory antibodies targeting hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). In this study, we evaluated a non-propagating vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vector encoding HA and NA antigens of A/Hamburg/4/2009 (H1N1) in a porcine animal model to assess induction of cross-reactive immunity. A single intramuscular immunization elicited high titers of H1N1-neutralizing antibodies and potent N1-sialidase inhibition. A boost with the same single-cycle VSV-vectored H1/N1 antigens or with a live-attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) enhanced inhibitory activity against the antigen-drifted A/Victoria/2570/2019 (H1N1) strain. Vaccination induced N1-specific antibodies that also inhibited avian N1 sialidase and suppressed replication of a bovine-derived H5N1 virus in vitro. Following nasal challenge with a 6:2 reassortant virus encoding drifted HA and NA antigens, vaccinated pigs showed no detectable virus shedding, whereas control animals shed infectious virus. Homologous prime-boost vaccination with the VSV-vectored H1/N1 antigens conferred protection comparable to the heterologous VSV/LAIV regimen in the upper respiratory tract. These findings demonstrate that a single-cycle VSV vector encoding both HA and NA induces cross-protective immunity against antigen-drifted influenza viruses, reduces the risk of vaccine mismatch, and may limit infection by zoonotic H5N1 viruses.
