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

SARS-CoV-2 infection is known to lead to severe morbidity and mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. For this reason, vaccination of these patients against COVID-19 is widely recommended. However, data regarding immunogenicity in patients with liver cirrhosis is limited and even less is known about the kinetics of antibody response, as well as the optimal timing of booster immunization. We analyzed immunogenicity in 110 patients with liver cirrhosis after receiving two doses of the mRNA-based vaccine BNT162b2 following the standard protocol and compared these results to a control group consisting of 80 healthcare workers. One hundred and six patients with liver cirrhosis (96%) developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, compared to 79 (99%) in the control group (
