Proteome-wide characterization of Plasmodium vivax antigens using a high-density peptide array.
Article in PLoS pathogens, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Plasmodium vivax is the second most prevalent Plasmodium species, with 2.5 billion people at risk of infection worldwide and around 10 million cases of clinical vivax malaria every year. Despite the clinical importance of this pathogen, little is known about the P. vivax proteins recognized by the host immune system, which hinders our ability to select vaccine candidates or to develop efficient serological markers. To characterize immunogenic P. vivax proteins, we designed a high-density peptide array containing 4.2 million peptides covering the entire protein sequences of all P. vivax genes and analyzed antibody responses of infected and malaria-naïve individuals. We identified a total of 283 proteins that are commonly immunogenic in symptomatic individuals. These proteins included many proteins known to be involved in erythrocyte invasion, several nucleoporins, and many uncharacterized proteins that should be further investigated for their roles during blood-stage infections. These analyses also revealed a unique pattern of antibody response against PIR proteins in asymptomatic individuals that could be associated with protection against clinical vivax malaria. Overall, these data provide an agnostic and proteome-wide perspective on immunogenic P. vivax proteins and constitute an important resource for the malaria community to develop new tools for better detecting and eliminating this important human pathogen.
