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 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus is the causative agent of the emerging zoonotic respiratory disease. One of the most important prerequisites for combating emerging diseases is the development of vaccines within a short period of time. In this study, antigen-irradiated, inactivated SARS-CoV-2 viruses and the disaccharide trehalose were used to enhance immune responses in the Syrian hamster. The SARS-CoV-2 virus was isolated from tracheal swabs, confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and propagated on Vero cells. For inactivation, it was irradiated with 14.00 kGy gamma radiation. Evaluation of the antigenic properties of the spike protein subunit S1 showed that the antigens were intact after gamma irradiation. The gamma-irradiated and formalin-treated viruses were used to immunize hamsters in four vaccine formulations. Neutralizing antibodies increased significantly in all vaccinated groups three weeks after the second and third vaccinations. The concentration of secretory immunoglobulin A in the irradiated vaccine plus trehalose increased significantly in nasal lavage and nasopharyngeal-associated lymphoid tissue fluids three weeks after the second and third vaccinations. The lymphocyte proliferation test in the spleen showed a significant increase in all vaccinated hamsters, but the increase was greater in irradiated vaccine plus trehalose and irradiated vaccine plus alum. We can recommend the irradiated inactivated vaccine SARS-CoV-2 plus trehalose (intra-nasal) and another irradiated inactivated vaccine SARS-CoV-2 plus alum (subcutaneous) as safe vaccines against coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), which can stimulate mucosal, humeral, and cellular immunities. However, the protectivity of the vaccine against COVID-19 in vaccinated hamsters must be investigated in a challenge test to assess the potency and efficiency of vaccine.
