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

Data on MPXV-specific T-cell responses at the single-peptide level remain limited in patients with mpox and in MVA-BN vaccinees. Here, we characterized the breadth and specificity of MPXV-specific T-cell responses at the single-peptide level after in vitro expansion with overlapping 20-mer peptides spanning the MPXV proteins H3L, A35R, and B6R. The study included 28 adult males: 15 with a history of mpox (including 6 with additional MVA-BN vaccination), 7 MVA-BN-only vaccinees, and 6 unexposed participants. All mpox and MVA-BN participants responded to at least one H3L peptide, indicating broad immunogenicity, while responses to A35R and B6R were more common in the mpox group. Notably, the breadth of B6R-specific CD4
