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

There is paucity of data on extended dosing interval between two doses of AZD1222 (AstraZeneca) in patients with Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (AIRD). We aimed to study the humoral response and rate of breakthrough infections between the two groups who had received the second dose of vaccine at 4 weeks (Group 1) and 10-14 weeks (Group 2). From established cohort [COVID-19 vaccination cohort from CARE(CVCC)] of vaccinated patients with AIRD, those who had received AZD1222 were included and divided into two groups. Anti-Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) antibodies (IU/ml) were measured 1 month after the second dose. Its predictors and rate of breakthrough infections were studied. Four hundred ninety-five patients with AIRD were included in this study. Group 2 had higher anti-RBD antibody titres [1310.6 (±977.8) and [736 (±864.7), p = 0.0001. On univariate analysis, presence of Diabetes Mellitus; use of Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, and Mycophenolate Mofetil; and vaccine interval were significantly associated with anti-RBD antibodies. Diabetes Mellitus and vaccine interval were independent predictors on multivariate analysis. Breakthrough infections were higher in Group 1 numerically on survival analysis but the difference was not significant (7.5% and 4.5%; log rank test: p = 0.25). In conclusion, increasing the gap between doses of the AZD1222 vaccine from 4 week to 10-14 weeks was found to be more beneficial in terms of antibody response in patients with AIRD. There was a trend towards higher breakthrough infections in the short interval group, supporting the antibody data. Key Points • There is paucity of data on effectiveness of increased dosing interval from 4-6 to 10-14 weeks for AZD1222 in patients with AIRDs • We observed a better humoral response with increased dosing interval with the interval and Diabetes Mellitus being independent predictors of the anti-RBD antibody levels • Breakthrough infections were numerically higher in the short interval group but the difference wasn't significant.
