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

Aicardi Goutières Syndrome (AGS) is an autoinflammatory disorder resulting in sustained interferon activation through defects in nucleic acid modification and sensing pathways. Thus, mRNA-based vaccination used against SARS-CoV-2, raise disease-specific safety concerns. To assess interferon signaling, we tested mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in AGS whole blood samples. Interferon activation is measured through quantitation of interferon signaling gene (ISG) expression and is increased in AGS patients. There was no increase in ISG scores from baseline following treatment with the nucleoside modified mRNA formulation compared to an increase with unmodified. A patient-family survey reported that the vaccines were well tolerated. These findings suggest that COVID vaccination using nucleoside-modified forms of mRNA vaccines are unlikely to directly stimulate ISG expression in response to mRNA internalization in AGS tissues. With continued community spread, we recommend vaccination using nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccines in this rare disease group in individuals for whom vaccines were previously well tolerated.
