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

Background: A recombinant, live-attenuated, tetravalent dengue vaccine (CYD-TDV) was licensed for children aged ≥9 years in a few countries, but the dependence of vaccine efficacy on baseline immunity status and age groups has not been fully characterized. Methods: Combining the 2 phase 3 trials CYD14 and CYD15, we estimated the vaccine efficacy for each of the 4 serotypes of dengue virus (DENV), as well as all serotypes combined, simultaneously stratified by baseline immunity status and age group, while accounting for uncertainty in the baseline immunity status of subjects. Results: Baseline seropositive subjects showed high efficacy for all serotypes: 70.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 57.4%-80.1%) for dengue serotype 1 (DENV-1), 67.9% (95% CI, 49.9%-82.0%) for DENV-2, 77.5% (95% CI, 64.3%-90.2%) for DENV-3, 89.9% (95% CI, 79.8%-99.9%) for DENV-4, and 75.4% (95% CI, 68.3%-81.6%) overall. In contrast, baseline seronegative subjects showed moderate efficacy against DENV-4 (51.2% [95% CI, 20.0%-72.8%]) but no significant efficacy against other serotypes. Among seropositive children, the overall efficacy tended to increase with age: 35.9% (95% CI, -7.6% to 69.3%) for children ≤5 years old, 65.6% (95% CI, 40.3%-84.2%) for those 6-8 years old, 73.4% (95% CI, 62.6%-82.1%) for those 9-11 years old, and 80.6% (95% CI, 72.9%-87.3%) for those 12 years or older. Conclusions: The CYD-TDV vaccine was highly efficacious for all dengue serotypes among children aged >5 years who have acquired baseline immunity from previous exposure. Increasing vaccine efficacy with age was not fully explained by increasing prevalence of baseline immunity with age.
