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 reduced vaccine efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 variant lineage B. 1.351 (beta variant) containing the E484K and N501Y mutations is well known. The E484K mutation in SARS-CoV-2 is thought to be responsible for weakened humoral immunity. Vaccine efficacy against the R.1 lineage, which contains the E484K mutation but not the N501Y mutation, is uncertain. Serum samples were collected from 100 healthy Japanese participants three weeks after receiving the second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine, and serum neutralization antibody titers were measured against five SARS-CoV-2 variants. The geometric mean neutralization titers measured for the original and R.1 lineages were equivalent (91.90 ± 2.40 and 102.67 ± 2.28, respectively), whereas a low titer was measured for the beta variant (18.03 ± 1.92). Although further investigations with other variant strains and serum samples are essential, our results imply that the weakened humoral response is not caused solely by the E484K mutation.
