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

The SARS-CoV-2 vaccines trigger the production of neutralizing antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and induce a T cell-mediated immune response. However, the antibody titers that confer protection against the SARS-CoV-2 virus are currently not well-established. While immunocompetent individuals achieve a high level of immune response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, it now appears that a high proportion of immunosuppressed or immunocompromised, patients exhibit low or no response to two doses of the vaccines. Most non-responders are on treatment with either glucocorticoids, mycophenolate-mofetil (MMF), the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab, calcineurin inhibitors like cyclosporine and tacrolimus, rapamycin (mTOR) signaling cascade inhibitors (i.e., sirolimus and everolimus), azathioprine, or methotrexate given for a variety of diseases including autoimmune disorders, hematological malignancies, and solid cancers, while recipients of solid organ transplants also fall within this category. Recently, several published reports have suggested that a third dose of these vaccines induces an elevated antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 S protein.
