Immunogenicity and Safety of a Single Booster Dose of Sabin-Strain Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine in Adolescents and Adults: A Phase IV, Open-Label Trial.
Article in Vaccines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn China, the current national immunisation schedule extends only to 4 years of age, and no polio booster dose is recommended for adolescents or adults, with data on immunogenicity and safety in these populations lacking. This phase IV trial evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of a single booster dose of Sabin-strain inactivated poliovirus vaccine (sIPV) in Chinese adolescents and adults.
methodsThis phase IV, open-label trial enrolled 120 healthy participants, comprising 60 adolescents aged 7-17 years and 60 adults aged 18-50 years, who received a single booster dose of sIPV. Participants were enrolled and vaccinated in Gansu Province, China, between 21 October and 1 November 2025. Immunogenicity was assessed by neutralising antibody titres against poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 before and 30 days post-vaccination. Safety was evaluated through monitoring of adverse events throughout the 30-day follow-up period.
resultsFollowing a single sIPV booster dose, seropositivity rates reached 100% for all three poliovirus serotypes in both age groups. Post-vaccination geometric mean titres (GMTs) for types 1, 2, and 3 were 1748.29, 3961.77, and 2089.08 in adolescents, and 1902.58, 4434.39, and 2256.16 in adults, respectively, with no significant between-group differences. Seroconversion rates for type 3 were significantly higher in adults than in adolescents (98.33% vs. 86.67%,
conclusionsA single booster dose of sIPV induced robust neutralising antibody responses across all three poliovirus serotypes in both adolescents and adults, with a favourable safety profile. Adults with lower baseline immunity derived proportionally greater fold-increases in antibody titres.
