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
Pseudorabies virus (PRV) causes an acute febrile infectious disease of pigs. Since 2011, PRV variants have appeared and spread nationwide in China. mRNA vaccines present a safe alternative and can stimulate humoral and cellular immunity. We constructed a self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA) vaccine containing gD gene of a highly virulent PRV variant. In mice, the PRV saRNA gD vaccine induced high levels of neutralizing antibodies. In piglets, vaccination with the PRV saRNA gD vaccine at a dose of as little as 5 μg induced very strong humoral immunity and cellular immunity, providing full protection against challenge infection with very virulent PRV variants. Protection following vaccination with saRNA gD induced significantly stronger protection than attenuated live vaccines and inactivated vaccines. In addition, our results confirm that a PRV saRNA vaccine expressing only one antigen can induce excellent protection in weaned piglets. Hence, the PRV saRNA gD vaccine might be a very promising substitute for inactivated and live vaccines. Finally, we provide proof-of-concept for the development of self-amplifying mRNA vaccines for members of the Alphaherpesvirinae, including herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 as well as varicella zoster virus.
