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

Background: Coxsackie B viruses cause acute infections and have been linked to chronic diseases like cardiomyopathies, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease. Despite their clinical significance, no vaccines exist for coxsackie B virus types. PRV-101, a new candidate vaccine covering 5 coxsackie B virus types, showed good immunogenicity and tolerability in a phase 1 trial (PROVENT) in adults. Methods: We conducted an extended follow-up of the PROVENT trial to assess the long-term immune response and safety of PRV-101. A total of 26 participants from the original cohort (n = 32) were enrolled for additional testing ∼2 years postimmunization (11 high-dose, 10 low-dose, and 5 placebo). Coxsackie B virus-specific antibody responses were measured and compared with earlier time points. Results: PRV-101 was safe, with no late adverse effects or emergence of autoantibodies linked to type 1 diabetes or celiac disease. Neutralizing virus antibodies remained elevated, with a clear dose-dependent response. In the high-dose group, antibodies against all coxsackie B virus types reached presumably protective levels, except for coxsackie B virus 2, where 2 participants turned seronegative. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests confirmed elevated antibody levels against coxsackie B virus proteins. Conclusions: These results suggest that PRV-101 induces durable antibody responses lasting for at least 2 years. The findings support the continued development of PRV-101 for preventing both acute coxsackie B virus infections and chronic diseases like type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
