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

backgroundTo evaluate the one-year immunogenicity and safety of a subunit plague vaccine.

methodsIn the initial study, 240 healthy adults aged 18-55 years were administrated with 2 doses of 15 or 30 µg plague vaccines at day 0 and 28, respectively. In this extended follow-up study, we evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of the plague vaccine up to one year.

resultsFor antibody to envelope antigen faction 1 (F1) antigen, titers were up to new peaks at month 6, then declined slowly to month 12, but remained at higher levels than those at day 56. Geometric mean titers (GMTs) of F1 were significantly higher in 30 µg group than those in 15 µg group at month 6 and 12 (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.001). However, approximate 100% seroconversion rates of F1 antibodies were found in both 15 and 30 µg groups at the both time points. For antibody to recombinant virulence (rV) antigen, titers and seroconversion rates were decreased sharply at month 6 and continue to decrease at month 12. GMTs and seroconversion rates were not significantly different between the 15 and 30 µg groups, respectively. No serious adverse events (SAEs) related to vaccine occurred.

conclusionThe new plague vaccine (F1+rV) induced a robust immune response up to 12 months and showed a good safety profile in adults aged 18-55 years.
