Optimizing mouse models for mRNA vaccines: addressing dose translation challenges.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The development of mRNA vaccines has significantly advanced global health during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, translating effective vaccine doses from preclinical animal models to human clinical use remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated antibody responses and repertoire diversity across different BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine doses in mice, while comparing the results with human data through mathematical modeling. We observed that 1 μg BNT162b2 dose regimen induced a persistent antibody response and broad antibody repertoire for up to 16 weeks in mice. Conversely, 0.05 μg BNT162b2 dose regimen resulted in waning antibody responses and narrowed antibody repertoires over the same period, resembling responses observed in humans vaccinated with 30 μg BNT162b2 dose regimen. An empirical dose translation approach revealed a discrepancy in dose relevance between the 1 μg commonly used in the in vivo mice model and the 30 μg used for vaccination in human. Therefore, it is crucial to re-evaluate the appropriate mRNA vaccine dose for in vivo mice models to accurately reflect human responses.
