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

Current COVID-19 vaccines face challenges such as waning immunity and limited mucosal protection. These limitations highlight the importance of developing next-generation vaccines that can induce strong tissue-specific and systemic immune responses. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) represents a promising vaccine vector due to its ability to elicit robust and durable immunity. In this study, we generated murine CMV (MCMV)-based vaccine vectors expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein using either a wild-type or immunologically attenuated viral strain. By comparing intraperitoneal (IP) and intranasal (IN) immunization with both MCMV vectors, we show that IP administration induced higher, long-lasting S-specific antibody levels in serum. Both routes elicited strong systemic S-specific CD8
