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

There have been no recommendations for revaccination with the Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients. This study aimed to measure the immunogenic response to a live-attenuated JE vaccine (SA 14-14-2) in post-HSCT patients. JE-specific neutralizing Ab titers were measured before and after the JE vaccination. The patients with Ab titers <10 at the 3-month time point received a second injection at 6 months. A total of 28 patients (male:female=11:17) with a median age of 13 years (4-21 years) were included. The underlying diseases were thalassemia (50%) and hematologic malignancies (50%). Ten patients (35.7%) had Ab titers above the preventive level before vaccination. Nine of 18 patients (50%) seroconverted at 3 months after a single JE vaccination, but only three of these patients had sustained protective Ab levels. Seven of nine patients (78%) seroconverted at 3 months after a second JE vaccine injection, and all of these patients sustained protective Ab levels at 12 months. In conclusion, post-HSCT patients had low seroconversion rates after a single dose of the live-attenuated JE vaccine. These patients may require at least two doses of the JE vaccine to ensure protective Ab levels.
