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
Given their critical role in eliciting respiratory immunity, mucosal SARS-CoV-2 vaccines receive significant research attention. Our previous phase 1/2 trial revealed that aerosolized live-attenuated vectored influenza virus COVID-19 vaccine likely elicited specific cellular immunity and weak s-IgA responses in placebo recipients. Here, we demonstrated that viral vector vaccines undergo contact or airborne transmission in various animal models. Vaccines have difficulty spreading in the mouse model, but can effectively spread through the air in more sensitive ferrets. However, the virus transmission in ferrets can be effectively restricted by ventilation system. Furthermore, contact transmission of virus vaccine provided effective protection against lung pathology post-challenge with SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters. These findings suggest the potential to achieve herd immunity in specialized scenarios through airborne or contact transmission of dNS1-RBD, provided that appropriate delivery and control measures are implemented during the administration of live attenuated or viral vectored vaccines.
