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

backgroundSince the outbreak of mpox in 2022, the disease has spread rapidly worldwide and garnered significant public attention. Vaccination is regarded as an effective measure to prevent the spread of mpox. The success of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine demonstrates that mRNA-based vaccines represent a rapid and multifunctional platform with considerable potential, and are expected to be a strategy to address mpox spread.

methodsIn this study, we screened an mpox multi-antigen-tandem bivalent mRNA vaccine candidate: a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA-1017 and mRNA-1995 (mRNA-3012-LNP). We then evaluated the immunogenicity of the mpox virus (MPXV) bivalent mRNA vaccine candidate and its protective efficacy against the vaccinia virus (VACV) in a mouse model.

resultsMice vaccinated with two doses of the mRNA-3012-LNP vaccine exhibited robust binding antibody responses and MPXV-specific Th-1-biased cellular immune responses in vivo. Notably, the boosted immunized mice generated potent neutralizing antibodies against the VACV, effectively protecting them from viral challenge. Additionally, serum transfer protection experiments indicated that serum from mice inoculated with mRNA-3012-LNP was effective in protecting nude mice from VACV challenge.

conclusionsOur results suggest that the mpox bivalent mRNA candidate vaccine mRNA-3012-LNP induces strong immunogenicity and has the potential to serve as a safe and effective vaccine candidate against mpox epidemics.
