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

This study compared intramuscular and subcutaneous administration of two doses of measles-mumps-rubella-varicella (MMRV) combination vaccine (Priorix-Tetra, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals) in children. Healthy children (N = 328) were randomised to receive MMRV either intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Reactogenicity was similar between treatment groups for immediate vaccination pain, vaccination site pain, redness and incidence of fever and rashes. Slightly less vaccination site swelling occurred during days 0-3 of the post-vaccination period after intramuscular administration. Seroconversion rates for all components, 42-56 days post-dose 2, ranged from 99.3% to 100% in the intramuscular group and from 98.6% to 100% in the subcutaneous. Cell-mediated immunity data supported the humoral immunogenicity findings. In summary, the MMRV vaccine is well tolerated and highly immunogenic when administered either subcutaneously or intramuscularly to children in the second year of life.
