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

Despite the success of the widely used attenuated yellow fever (YF) vaccine, its global supply remains a substantial barrier to implementing vaccination campaigns in endemic regions and combating emerging epidemics. In A129 mice and rhesus macaques, we evaluated the immunogenicity and protective activity of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine candidates encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, expressing the pre-membrane and envelope proteins or the non-structural protein 1 of YF virus. Vaccine constructs induced humoral and cell-mediated immune responses in mice, resulting in protection against lethal YF virus infection after passive administration of serum or splenocytes from vaccinated mice. Vaccination of macaques induced sustained high humoral and cellular immune responses for at least 5 months after the second dose. Our data demonstrate that these mRNA vaccine candidates can be considered an attractive addition to the licensed YF vaccine supply based on the induction of functional antibodies correlating with protection and T-cell responses; they could alleviate the limited supply of current YF vaccines, mitigating future YF epidemics.
