Tag-Free SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding Domain (RBD), but Not C-Terminal Tagged SARS-CoV-2 RBD, Induces a Rapid and Potent Neutralizing Antibody Response.
Article in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Recombinant proteins are essential in the development of subunit vaccines. In the design of many recombinant proteins, polyhistidine residues are added to the N- or C-termini of target sequences to facilitate purification. However, whether the addition of tag residues influences the immunogenicity of proteins remains unknown. In this study, the tag-free SARS-CoV-2 RBD and His-tag SARS-CoV-2 RBD proteins were investigated to determine whether there were any differences in their receptor binding affinity and immunogenicity. The results showed that the tag-free RBD protein had a higher affinity for binding with hACE2 receptors than His-tag RBD proteins (EC
