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/

objectivesMessenger RNA vaccines can induce strong immune responses, but delivery, biodistribution, and storage stability remain important considerations. We evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of SW-BIC-213, a Lipo-Polyplex (LPP)-based mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, in healthy adults in Laos.

methodsWe conducted a seamless phase 1/2 clinical trial in healthy adults. Phase 1 enrolled adults aged 18-60 years in an open-label, single-arm dose-escalation study; phase 2 enrolled adults aged ≥18 years in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants received two doses 21 days apart. The primary endpoints were safety in phase 1 and safety and immunogenicity in phase 2.

resultsIn phase 1, 41 participants received 25 or 45 μg of SW-BIC-213. In phase 2, 480 participants were randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to receive 25 μg, 45 μg, or placebo. All phase 1 adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2; grade 3 reactions in phase 2 were limited to transient fever. At 14 days after the second dose, pseudovirus neutralizing-antibody seroconversion exceeded 99% against wild-type virus, 98% against Delta, 84% against Omicron BA.1, and 88% against BA.2. Neutralizing-antibody titers were higher in both vaccine groups than in the placebo group (

conclusionsTwo doses of SW-BIC-213 showed an acceptable safety profile and substantial humoral immunogenicity in healthy adults aged ≥18 years.
