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

A replicating recombinant rabies vaccine, rVSV-RABV, was constructed using vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing the rabies virus glycoprotein (RABV-G, SAD-B19 strain). A leucine-to-serine mutation at position 71 (L71S) in the RABV-G extracellular domain significantly enhanced the viral titer and G protein expression. The derived strain, rVSV-RABV-L71S, demonstrated production and immunogenic advantages. As an inactivated vaccine formulated with GEL-02 adjuvant, it induced stronger neutralizing antibody responses, along with innate and Th1-biased T cell immunity in mice, compared to commercially inactivated vaccines. As a live vaccine, it conferred robust protection against the CVS-24 challenge in mice (NIH titer ∼4.8-fold higher than reference) and elicited superior neutralizing antibodies in dogs. Both inactivated and live rVSV-RABV-L71S formulations exhibited favorable safety profiles. rVSV-RABV-L71S represents a promising, low-cost, high-efficacy rabies vaccine candidate suitable for widespread use in developing countries.
