Long-term evolution of humoral immune response after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

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.
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
objectiveWe aimed to characterize the evolution of humoral immune response up to 1 year after SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers (HCWs) during the first wave of COVID-19 in Paris.
methodsSerum samples from 92 HCWs were tested at month 0 (M0), M6, and M12 after SARS-CoV-2 infection for IgG targeting the nucleocapsid (N), IgG targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike (S) protein, IgA targeting S, and anti-RBD neutralizing antibodies. After M6, 46 HCWs received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
resultsWe observed a significant decrease in all SARS-CoV-2 immunologic markers at M6 post-infection: median decreases were 0.26 log binding antibody units/mL (M0: 1.9 (interquartile range (IQR) 1.47-2.27); M6: 1.64 (IQR 1.22-1.92)) for anti-RBD IgG; 4.10 (index) (M0: 4.94 (IQR 2.72-6.82); M6: 0.84 (IQR 0.25-1.55)) for anti-N IgG; 0.64 (index) (M0: 2.50 (IQR 1.18-4.62); M6: 1.86 (IQR 0.85-3.54)) for anti-S IgA; and 24.4% (M0: 66.4 (IQR 39.7-82.5); M6: 42.0 (IQR 16.8-68.8)) inhibition activity for the RBD neutralizing antibodies. Between M6 and M12, anti-RBD IgG level, anti-S IgA index, and anti-RBD neutralizing activity significantly increased among COVID-19 vaccinated HCWs, whereas they remained stable among unvaccinated HCWs. Anti-N IgG index significantly decreased between M6 and M12 among both vaccinated (median: 0.73 (IQR 0.23-1.11) at M6 and 0.52 (IQR 0.20-0.73) at M12) and unvaccinated HCWs (median: 0.79 (IQR 0.21-4.67) at M6 and 0.34 (IQR 0.24-2.78) at M12). DISCUSSION: A steady decline in the anti-N IgG response was observed during the first year after SARS-CoV-2 infection among HCWs, whereas the anti-RBD IgG and the anti-S IgA responses remained stable and could be enhanced by COVID-19 vaccination.
