Progress and challenge of hepatitis B virus mucosal vaccines.
Review in Virology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly contagious, primarily infected through mucous membranes or broken skin exposed to infected body fluids. Conventional injectable vaccines, which require cold chain storage and trained personnel, elicit systemic immunity but fail to establish effective immune protection at mucosal sites where HBV enters. Mucosal vaccines administered orally or intranasally can induce both mucosal and systemic immune responses, offering enhanced protection along with advantages such as ease of administration, no need for cold chain, and reduced reliance on healthcare workers. Given the critical potential of mucosal vaccines in addressing HBV transmission, this review systematically summarizes recent progress in mucosal HBV vaccine development. It covers the evolution of vaccine platforms, from early nasal sprays to advanced oral delivery systems utilizing plant-based antigens, synthetic nanomaterials, and exosomes derived from sources like milk. The advantages and challenges of these platforms are systematically analyzed, with particular attention given to exosome-based systems, which demonstrate excellent biocompatibility and strong potential for effective mucosal delivery. Furthermore, this review discusses future trends in the field, including engineering strategies for targeted delivery and scalable production. Ultimately, this review aims to bridge research and application by offering clear insights and directions to advance the development of practical mucosal HBV vaccines.
