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

The COVID-19 pandemic was controlled by active vaccination, but emergence of viral mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein supported the need for vaccines targeting genetically stable viral domains. We developed a unique vaccine (OC-007) combining WH1-, Alpha-, and Beta-variant RBD loops; the membrane (M; WH1); and nucleoproteins (N; WH1). In a first-in-human, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalation phase 1 clinical trial, the OC-007 DNA vaccine was evaluated as one booster dose delivered intramuscularly by
