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

The immunization of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients against vaccine-preventable diseases is a part of posttransplantation guidelines. We conducted a prospective study to assess clinical and immunological parameters that would determine the response and long-term maintenance of protective antibody titers upon the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination after HCT. The investigated variables included: vaccination of the HCT recipients and their donors prior to HCT, chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) and the timing of post-HCT vaccination, and B- and T-cell subtype status. Forty-two patients were immunized with three or more doses of recombinant hepatitis B surface antigen (rHBsAg) administered according to the individualized schedule of 0-1-2-6-(12) months. After vaccination, seroconversion was achieved in the whole group. The vaccines were categorized according to the antibody (Ab) titers as weak (WRs; 28.7%), good (GRs; 38%) or very good responders (VGRs; 3.3%). In multivariate logistic regression, severe cGVHD (OR= 15.5), and preceding donor immunization (OR= 0.13) were independent predictors of a weak response to vaccination. A prior belonging to the WR group impaired the durability of protection (OR= 0.17) at a median follow-up of 11.5 years. Patients with severe cGVHD showed a trend toward lower median Ab titers, although they required a higher rate of booster vaccine doses. All VGRs had CD4+ cells > 0.2 x 10
