Characteristics and Roles of T Follicular Helper Cells in SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Response.
Review in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination is critical to controlling the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, a weak response to the vaccine and insufficient persistence of specific antibodies may threaten the global impact of mass vaccination campaigns. This study summarizes the internal factors of the body that affect the effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells support germinal center B cells to produce vaccine-specific immunoglobulins. A reduction in the Tfh cell number and a shift in the subset phenotypes caused by multiple factors may impair the production and persistence of high-affinity antibodies. Besides efficacy differences caused by the different types of vaccines, the factors that affect vaccine effectiveness by intervening in the Tfh cell response also include age-related defects, the polarity of the body microenvironment, repeated immunization, immunodeficiency, and immunosuppressive treatments. Assessing the phenotypic distribution and activation levels of Tfh cell subsets after vaccination is helpful in predicting vaccine responses and may identify potential targets for improving vaccine effectiveness.
