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

Individual studies indicate stronger and persistent long-term immunogenicity with TZ84-based than HM175-based hepatitis A vaccines. This systematic review and meta-analysis compared immunogenicity and safety of inactivated TZ84- and HM175-based hepatitis A vaccines in children and adolescents. Studies involving adults, immunocompromised populations, non-comparative designs, non-English publications, and studies with non-extractable outcomes were excluded. MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, other electronic databases, and grey literature were searched (September-October 2025). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) tool, and meta-analyses were performed where appropriate. Seven publications arising from four randomized cohorts (total participants: 3,282) reporting seroconversion rates (SCRs), geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), long-term seroprotection, and adverse events (AEs) were identified. Pooled analyses demonstrated higher SCRs and GMCs with TZ84 than HM175-based vaccines following both one and two doses. SCRs at 1 month [odds ratio (OR): 3.05; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.88-4.96] and GMCs at 7 months [standardized mean difference (SMD): 0.88; 95% CI: 0.18-1.58;
