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

A previous phase 3, randomized, multicenter study showed the immunogenicity of a primary vaccination of subjects aged 11 to 17 years with the quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine conjugated to tetanus toxoid (MenACWY-TT) or the quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MenACWY-PS). This extension study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of a MenACWY-TT booster 10 years after receiving a primary dose of either MenACWY-TT or MenACWY-PS. The primary immunogenicity endpoint was booster response, evaluated using serum bactericidal antibody assays with rabbit complement (rSBA), 1 month postbooster. Safety endpoints included the percentage of subjects experiencing local and general adverse events (AEs) ≤4 days after MenACWY-TT booster. Of 229 subjects enrolled, 169 and 58 in the MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS groups, respectively, completed the booster phase. The 1 month postbooster response for each serogroup ranged from 81.5% to 95.7% for MenACWY-TT and 66.7% to 94.1% for MenACWY-PS. Similar percentages of MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS recipients had a booster response to serogroups A, W, and Y, whereas more MenACWY-TT recipients than MenACWY-PS recipients had a booster response to serogroup C. For the MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS groups, respectively, the MenACWY-TT booster elicited rSBA titers ≥1:8 in 100% and ≥98.0% of subjects across all serogroups; 100% and ≥96.1% of all subjects had titers ≥1:128. No new safety signals were observed during the booster phase. In conclusion, a MenACWY-TT booster dose after receiving either a primary dose of MenACWY-TT or MenACWY-PS elicited robust immune responses and was well tolerated. Functional antibody responses last up to 10 years after primary MenACWY-TT vaccination.
