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

backgroundIn a randomized, blinded, dual center study across two European primate research facilities, we evaluated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of a DNA prime-oropharyngeal adenoviral boost vaccination strategy against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

methodsRhesus macaques received an RSV fusion protein (F) DNA vaccine via electroporation, followed by two mucosal administrations of a recombinant adenovirus vector encoding the same antigen. Mock-vaccinated animals and a comparator group mimicking natural immunity induced by primary RSV infection were included as controls. Systemic and mucosal immune responses were monitored longitudinally.

resultsWe detected robust cellular and humoral immune responses, but with some variability between the two centers. Nevertheless, RSV-vaccinated animals demonstrated markedly reduced viral replication in the upper and lower respiratory tract after RSV challenge infection. Unexpected RSV-specific immunity in the control group at one single study site prevented confirmation of the predefined primary endpoint.

conclusionOur results support the potential of mucosal adenoviral boosting following DNA priming to induce protective immunity against RSV, while highlighting challenges associated with multi-center preclinical vaccine studies.
