Preclinical evaluation of an mRNA vaccine developed from the first human isolate of bovine H5N1.
Article in Cell reports. Medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Given the global threat posed by H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b avian influenza, rapid development of effective vaccines is imperative. We design an mRNA vaccine encoding hemagglutinin (HA) from A/Texas/37/2024, the first bovine-to-human strain. In murine models, both wild-type and cleavage-site-modified HA vaccines elicit robust and durable humoral immunity, along with a balanced Th1/Th2 response, conferring complete protection against lethal homologous viral challenge. The vaccine, along with the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended candidate (A/Astrakhan/3212/2020), elicits cross-clade binding antibody responses and demonstrates improvement against specific clades at a 1 μg dose. Pre-existing H1 immunity does not diminish H5-specific immunogenicity. In avian species, the vaccine also provides full protection against lethal clades (2.3.4.4b and 2.3.4.4h). Formulated with another ionizable lipid, the vaccine elicits responses comparable to benchmark lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and shows a favorable safety profile in rats. This work establishes a rapidly adaptable mRNA-LNP vaccine prototype for pandemic preparedness against evolving avian influenza threats.
