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

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged as a major global health crisis, posing significant health, economic, and social challenges. Vaccine development has been a crucial response to the severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-related coronavirus-2 pandemic owing to the critical role of immunization in controlling infectious diseases, leading to the expedited development of several effective vaccines. Although mRNA platform-based COVID-19 vaccines authorized under emergency-use authorization have been administered globally, concerns regarding the vaccines have increased owing to the occurrence of various side effects. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety of a non-replicating recombinant baculovirus expressing the human endogenous retrovirus envelope gene (AcHERV) vaccine encoding SARS-CoV-2 antigens. Owing to the limited number of existing safety pharmacology studies on AcHERV as a viral vector vaccine, we conducted neurobehavior (Modified Irwin's Test), body temperature, and respiratory function studies in rats and cardiovascular system studies in male beagle dogs, which were administered the AcHERV-COVID-19 vaccine using telemetry. The safety assessment revealed no significant toxicological alterations. However, in rats, both sexes administered with the AcHERV-COVID-19 vaccine exhibited a temporary increase in body temperature, which normalized or showed signs of recovery. In conclusion, AcHERV-COVID-19 demonstrates a sufficient safety profile that supports its potential evaluation in future clinical trials.
