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

backgroundIt is unclear whether circulating antibody levels conferred protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection among patients receiving dialysis during the Omicron-dominant period.

methodsWe followed monthly semiquantitative SARS-CoV-2 RBD IgG index values in a randomly selected nationwide cohort of patients receiving dialysis and ascertained SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron-dominant period of December 25, 2021 to January 31, 2022 using electronic health records. We estimated the relative risk for documented SARS-CoV-2 infection by vaccination status and by circulating RBD IgG using a log-binomial model accounting for age, sex, and prior COVID-19.

resultsAmong 3576 patients receiving dialysis, 901 (25%) received a third mRNA vaccine dose as of December 24, 2021. Early antibody responses to third doses were robust (median peak index IgG value at assay limit of 150). During the Omicron-dominant period, SARS-CoV-2 infection was documented in 340 (7%) patients. Risk for infection was higher among patients without vaccination and with one to two doses (RR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.6 to 2.8, and RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0 to 1.8 versus three doses, respectively). Irrespective of the number of vaccine doses, risk for infection was higher among patients with circulating RBD IgG <23 (506 BAU/ml) (RR range, 2.1 to 3.2, 95% CI, 1.3 to 3.4 and 95% CI, 2.2 to 4.5, respectively) compared with RBD IgG ≥23.

conclusionsAmong patients receiving dialysis, a third mRNA vaccine dose enhanced protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Omicron-dominant period, but a low circulating RBD antibody response was associated with risk for infection independent of the number of vaccine doses. Measuring circulating antibody levels in this high-risk group could inform optimal timing of vaccination and other measures to reduce risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
