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

Objectives: Attenuated humoral response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines has been reported in some patients with autoimmune disease, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, data of immune responses to inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the RA population are still unknown. Herein, the safety and immunogenicity of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in RA patients were analyzed. Methods: Seventy five RA patients and 26 healthy controls (HC) were respectively recruited from Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the community in Kunming city. Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) Test ELISA kit was used to measure the percentage of inhibition. AKA (anti-keratin antibody) positivity was detected using indirect immunofluorescence. Rheumatoid factor (RF)-IgA was detected by ELISA. RF-IgG, RF-IgM, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies were measured by chemiluminescence. ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) was detected by ESR analyzer. C-RP (c-reactive protein) was detected by immunoturbidimetry. NEUT% (percentage of neutrophils) and LYMPH% (percentage of percentage) were calculated by a calculation method. Results: Compared with the HC group, the percentage of inhibition was significantly lower in RA patients receiving two doses of vaccines. Vaccines-induced percentage of inhibition was the lowest in RA patients who had not been vaccinated. In total 80.77% of the HC group had a percentage of inhibition ≧20%, compared with 45.24% of vaccinated RA patients and 6.06% of unvaccinated RA patients. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 did not differ between RA patients according to their age and disease duration. Furthermore, the results showed that no correlation was found between the percentage of inhibition and indices for RA, including RF-IgA, IgG, IgM; anti-CCP antibody; ESR; C-RP; NEUT% and LYMPH%. Conclusion: Our study showed inactivated vaccine-induced SARS-COV-2 antibody responses differ in RA patients and healthy subjects, emphasizing the importance of a third or fourth vaccination in RA patients.
