Evaluation of Safety and Immunogenicity of High-Dose Quadrivalent Seasonal Influenza Split Vaccine: A Preclinical Study.
Article in Vaccines, 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
objectivesSeasonal influenza leads to substantial global morbidity and mortality, especially in adults aged 65 years and older, who present poor immune responses to standard-dose influenza vaccines. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the preclinical safety and immunogenicity of a high-dose quadrivalent seasonal influenza split vaccine (HD-QIV), providing preclinical evidence for its clinical application in the elderly.
methodsFollowing GLP guidelines, we performed single-dose and repeated-dose toxicity tests in Sprague-Dawley rats, active systemic anaphylaxis assays in guinea pigs, and immunogenicity assessments in young and aged BALB/c mice. Safety indicators included general clinical signs, hematology, blood biochemistry, histopathology and allergic reactions; immunogenicity was evaluated via hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titers and antigen-specific cellular immune responses.
resultsHD-QIV only caused mild and reversible local irritation in rats without obvious systemic toxicity, and no dose-related systemic anaphylaxis was observed in guinea pigs. HD-QIV induced robust and dose-dependent humoral immune responses, and showed significantly higher HI antibody titers, earlier seroconversion and longer antibody persistence than standard quadrivalent influenza vaccine in aged mice. Cellular immunity was slightly enhanced but not the dominant protective response.
conclusionsThe HD-QIV demonstrates favorable preclinical safety and superior immunogenicity, supporting its further clinical development and use as a priority vaccine for the elderly population.
