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
A non-replicating Tiantan strain-based vaccinia virus (NTV) holds significant application prospects for vaccination and gene therapy and has recently entered clinical trials as a novel and safer vaccine candidate against monkeypox. However, optimization is still required, particularly regarding its production capacity and immunogenicity. In this study, a recombinant virus was constructed by modifying the F1L and C7L genes in a non-replicating viral backbone using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing and homologous recombination. The resulting construct, designated NTV-ΔF1L-C7L, exhibited significantly enhanced replication in vaccine production cell lines, with viral yields increasing by more than 680-fold in MRC-5 cells compared to those of the parental NTV. Its pathogenicity in mice was significantly reduced, showing more than a 10-fold decrease compared to the pathogenicity of the vaccinia virus Tiantan strain (VTT). Following two intramuscular doses, NTV-ΔF1L-C7L elicited high titers of orthopoxvirus-specific IgG and neutralizing antibodies against vaccinia and monkeypox viruses, along with a robust cellular immune response exhibiting a Th1 bias, which was significantly stronger than that induced by either parental NTV or VTT vaccination. Complete protection (100%) against a lethal challenge with the vaccinia virus Western Reserve strain was achieved in mice immunized with either a low dose (10
