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

Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) develops in millions of patients per year, despite the availability of effective prophylactic vaccines. Patients who resolve acute HBV infection develop HBV-specific polyfunctional T cells accompanied by neutralizing antibodies, while in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), immune cells are dysfunctional and impaired. We describe a lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-formulated mRNA vaccine, optimized for the expression of HBV core, polymerase, and surface (preS2-S) antigens with the aim of inducing an effective immune response in patients with CHB. Prime and prime/boost vaccination with LNP-formulated mRNA encoding for core, pol, and/or preS2-S dosing strategies were compared in naive C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Immune responses were assessed by IFN-γ ELISpot, intracellular cytokine staining (ICS), and ELISA for antibody production, whereas anti-viral efficacy was evaluated in the AAV-HBV mouse model. The mRNA vaccine induced strong antigen-specific polyfunctional T cell responses in these mouse models, accompanied by the emergence of anti-HBs and anti-HBe antibodies. After three immunizations, the antigen-specific immune stimulation resulted in up to 1.7 log
