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

objectiveVaccination for SARS-CoV-2 provides significant protection against the infection in the general population. However, limited data exist for cancer patients under systemic therapy.

methodsIn this cohort, we prospectively enrolled cancer patients treated with PARPi as well as healthy volunteers in order to study the kinetics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (NAbs) after COVID-19 vaccination. Baseline demographics, co-morbidities, and NAb levels were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe results of the cohort of 36 patients receiving PARP inhibitors are presented here. Despite no new safety issues being noticed, their levels of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies were significantly lower in comparison to matched healthy volunteers up to day 30 after the second dose.

conclusionsThese results suggest that maintaining precautions against COVID-19 is essential for cancer patients and should be taken into consideration for the patients under treatment, while further exploration is needed to reduce the uncertainty of SARS-CoV-2 immunity among cancer patients under treatment.
