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

backgroundData on the safety and efficacy of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in people with a range of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are lacking because these patients were excluded from COVID-19 vaccine trials. This information may help in clinical management of this vulnerable patient group.

objectiveWe assessed humoral and T-cell immune responses after 2 doses of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines in patients with PID and functional B-cell defects.

methodsA double-center retrospective review was performed of patients with PID who completed COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and who had humoral responses assessed through SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) IgG antibody levels with reflex assessment of the antibody to block RBD binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2; hereafter referred to as ACE2 receptor blocking activity, as a surrogate test for neutralization) and T-cell response evaluated by an IFN-γ release assay. Immunization reactogenicity was also reviewed.

resultsA total of 33 patients with humoral defect were evaluated; 69.6% received BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) and 30.3% received mRNA-1273 (Moderna). The mRNA vaccines were generally well tolerated without severe reactions. The IFN-γ release assay result was positive in 24 (77.4%) of 31 patients. Sixteen of 33 subjects had detectable RBD-specific IgG responses, but only 2 of these 16 subjects had an ACE2 receptor blocking activity level of ≥50%.

conclusionVaccination of this cohort of patients with PID with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines was safe, and cellular immunity was stimulated in most subjects. However, antibody responses to the spike protein RBD were less consistent, and, when detected, were not effective at ACE2 blocking.
