Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus-like Nanoparticles Pseudo-Typed with SARS-CoV-2 RBD for Vaccination Against COVID-19.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Virus-like nanoparticles (VNPs) based on Moloney murine leukemia virus represent a well-established platform for the expression of heterologous molecules such as cytokines, cytokine receptors, peptide MHC (pMHC) and major allergens, but their application for inducing protective anti-viral immunity has remained understudied as of yet. Here, we variably fused the wildtype SARS-CoV-2 spike, its receptor-binding domain (RBD) and nucleocapsid (NC) to the minimal CD16b-GPI anchor acceptor sequence for expression on the surface of VNP. Moreover, a CD16b-GPI-anchored single-chain version of IL-12 was tested for its adjuvanticity. VNPs expressing RBD::CD16b-GPI alone or in combination with IL-12::CD16b-GPI were used to immunize BALB/c mice intramuscularly and subsequently to investigate virus-specific humoral and cellular immune responses. CD16b-GPI-anchored viral molecules and IL-12-GPI were well-expressed on HEK-293T-producer cells and purified VNPs. After the immunization of mice with VNPs, RBD-specific antibodies were only induced with RBD-expressing VNPs, but not with empty control VNPs or VNPs solely expressing IL-12. Mice immunized with RBD VNPs produced RBD-specific IgM, IgG
