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

backgroundThe kinetics of neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) play an important role in evaluating vaccine efficacy and durability, herd immunity, additional vaccination, and prediction models of immune protection against coronavirus disease 2019. MATERIALS AND

methodsSerum collection times were 4 and 8 weeks after 1st inoculation of AZD1222 (AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK), and 2 and 16 weeks after 2nd inoculation with 12-week dosing intervals. Neutralizing antibody (Nab) titers were measured indirectly using commercially available R-FIND SARS-CoV-2 Neutralizing Antibody ELISA Kit (SG Medical Inc., Seoul, Korea). Possible influences of gender, age, and adverse events on neutralizing antibody titer were also investigated.

resultsNab titers (median inhibition %) started to decrease shortly after reaching peaks. This decrease was more pronounced in the elderly group (≥56 years) than in the young group (≤39 years) at 8 weeks (49.5%

conclusionNab induced by AZD1222 (AstraZeneca, UK) vaccination started to degrade shortly after the production period. Nab titers were lower in the elderly than in younger group during the degradation period. This seems to be because the degradation process of Nab is more pronounced in the elderly. This may explain why the frequency of breakthrough infections, disease severity, and mortality were higher in the elderly and may require revaccination to ensure robust immunity.
