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

Kyasanur Forest Disease Virus (KFDV) is a zoonotic tick-borne flavivirus that causes Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD), a disease primarily found in India. KFD historically been confined to Karnataka state of southern India, however, in recent years, it has spread beyond its original endemic region, raising significant public health concerns. There are currently no KFD specific treatments or vaccines available. Rapid development of effective vaccine against KFD is urgently needed. We developed and evaluated a whole virion inactivated KFD virus vaccine candidate, adjuvanted with aluminum hydroxide [Al(OH)3] for its safety and efficacy in laboratory animal models. We used a well-characterized KFD virus strain and an established Vero cell platform to produce large-scale GMP-grade highly purified inactivated antigen. Two dose vaccination with the vaccine candidate (18 µg/dose) in Balb/c mice model elicited stronger IgG response and elevated neutralizing antibody as well as T cell cytokines responses and provided complete protection against KFDV challenge (100 LD
