Trial report in Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00851786 (A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of ZOSTAVAX®), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) risk is increased in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. Live attenuated zoster vaccine (ZV) reduces HZ incidence and severity in adults; safety and immunogenicity data in HIV-infected adults are limited. Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in HIV-infected adults virally suppressed on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Participants, stratified by CD4+ count (200-349 or ≥350 cells/µL), were randomized 3:1 to receive ZV or placebo on day 0 and week 6. The primary endpoint was serious adverse event or grade 3/4 signs/symptoms within 6 weeks after each dose. Immunogenicity (varicella zoster virus [VZV]-specific glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and interferon-γ enzyme-linked immunospot assay responses) was assessed at 6 and 12 weeks postvaccination. Results: Of 395 participants (296 ZV vs 99 placebo), 84% were male, 47% white, 29% black, and 22% Hispanic; median age was 49 years. Safety endpoints occurred in 15 ZV and 2 placebo recipients (5.1% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 2.9%-8.2%] vs 2.1% [95% CI, .3%-7.3%]; P = .26). Injection site reactions occurred in 42% of ZV (95% CI, 36.3%-47.9%) vs 12.4% of placebo recipients (95% CI, 6.6%-20.6%) (P < .001). Week 12 median natural log VZV antibody titer was higher for ZV (6.30 [Q1, Q3, 5.64, 6.96]) vs placebo (5.48 [Q1, Q3, 4.63, 6.44]; P < .001) overall and in the high CD4+ stratum (P = .003). VZV antibody titers were similar after 1 or 2 ZV doses. Polymerase chain reaction-confirmed HZ occurred in 2 participants (1 ZV; 1 placebo); none was vaccine strain related. Conclusions: Two doses of ZV in HIV-infected adults suppressed on ART with CD4+ counts ≥200 cells/µL were safe and immunogenic. Clinical Trials Registration: NCT00851786.
