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

Patients with B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2. We investigated the relationship between B cell cytopenia and the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response in B-NHL patients. We measured anti-RBD antibodies and the lymphocyte immunophenotype in 19 controls, 22 lymphoma patients on observation (cohort 1) and 55 lymphoma patients receiving their vaccines post B-cell depleting therapy (cohort 2). Half of the lymphoma patients in both cohorts achieved seropositivity compared to 100% of controls. In cohort 2, only 5% achieved an antibody response in the first year post B-cell depleting treatment, vs 88% treated >2 years prior. Also, 28% of patients with <50 B cells/µl achieved a serologic response vs 86% of patients with B-cell >50 B cells/µl. B-cell cytopenia is profound within the first year of exposure to B-cell depleting treatment, therefore an additional dose of vaccine within that timeframe is unlikely to raise antibody levels.
