Immunologic features of asymptomatic postvaccination infections with the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in adults.
Article in Immunity, inflammation and disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundAsymptomatic infections may play an important role in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant transmissions. However, the immunologic features of asymptomatic postvaccination infections with the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in adults remain to be defined.
methodsA retrospective study involving 36 vaccinated adults infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant was performed. Their demographic and laboratory data were collected and analyzed in The First People's Hospital of Jingmen from August 4 to 20, 2021.
resultsOf the 36 adults, 6 persons had an asymptomatic infection. The severity of the SARS-CoV-2 infections was highly correlated with the doses of vaccinations (p = 0.019). The symptomatic and asymptomatic infected SARS-CoV-2 adults showed normal levels of leukocytes and lymphocytes. The C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were elevated in the symptomatic groups. The period between the last vaccination to the time of infection in the asymptomatic group was longer than that in the mild and moderate groups (73 vs. 61 vs. 50 days; p = 0.047). The percentage of suppressor T-cells in the asymptomatic group was the highest (32.2 ± 4.0% vs. 22.0 ± 7.2% vs. 29.3 ± 8.0%; p = 0.004). The signal-to-cutoff ratio value of total antibody against SARS-CoV-2 in the asymptomatic group was lower than that in the other two groups (383 vs. 703 vs. 1792; p < 0.001) and much lower than that in the moderate group. The multivariate ordinal logistic analysis after adjusting for gender, vaccination date, and vaccination dose indicated that CRP at Days 4-7 and 8-14, IL-6 on Days 4-7, and total antibody were risk factors for coronavirus disease 2019 severity.
conclusionsAsymptomatic postvaccination infections with the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 in adults tend to infect persons vaccinated twice. The immunophenotype profile for asymptomatic postvaccination infections is less inflammatory and accompanied by relatively lower antibody titers.
