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

introductionA mass vaccination campaign against SARS-CoV-2 was initiated in European countries on December 27, 2020. This study compared the antibody response in a sample of healthcare workers (HCWs) who, after the first dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (infection group) with the response in a control group of HCWs immunized with two doses (vaccine group).

methodsThis two-arm observational cohort study was carried out using routine health surveillance data obtained from HCWs at Bari Policlinico General Hospital (Italy). The antibody response was determined infection group and vaccine group.

resultsAmong the 100 HCWs, 25 (25.0%) were in the infection group and 75 (75.0%) in the full-vaccine group. At the serological evaluation, all of the HCWs tested positive, with a geometric mean titer (GMT) of 7106.8 (95 %CI = 5628.5-8973.4) and a statistically significant difference (p < 0.0001) between the infection group (GMT = 2139.7; 95 %CI = 1310.4-3493.6) and the vaccine group (GMT = 10603.6; 95 %CI = 8698.0-12926.8). DISCUSSION: Our results shed light on the vaccine response of individuals in different risk categories. It also emphasizes the need for the continued use by HCWs of PPE and good practices during the window between the first and second anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations.
