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

RNA vaccines-comprising linear mRNA, self-amplifying RNA, and circular RNA (circRNA)-constitute a core next-generation platform for the prevention and control of viral diseases; among these, circRNA vaccines possess notable structural stability, yet their technical bottlenecks and application prospects in veterinary medicine have not been systematically reviewed. This review synthesizes current research on circRNA vaccine design, circularization strategies, translation mechanisms, delivery systems, and immunological outcomes, and compares their antiviral performance with that of linear mRNA vaccines. Owing to their covalently closed circular conformation, circRNA vaccines exhibit enhanced resistance to nucleases and superior thermal stability, enabling sustained transfection activity at ambient temperatures without reliance on strict cold chains; through cap-independent translation driven by internal ribosome entry sites or N
