Salivary Antibody Response of COVID-19 in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Young Adult Populations.
Article in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
COVID-19 is a terrible pandemic sweeping the whole world with more than 600 million confirmed cases and 6 million recorded deaths. Vaccination was identified as the sole option that could help in combatting the disease. In this study, SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were assessed in the saliva of vaccinated participants (Covaxin and Covishield) through enzyme-linked sorbent assay (ELISA). The IgG antibody titres in females were significantly greater than those of males. The total antibody titres of vaccinated individuals were greater than those of unvaccinated participants, although not statistically significant. Individuals who had completed both doses of vaccination had higher antibody levels than those who had received a single dose. People who had experienced COVID-19 after vaccination had better immunity compared to those who were unvaccinated with COVID-19 history. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific antibodies were successfully demonstrated in saliva samples, and knowledge about the immunity triggered by the vaccines can assist in making informed choices.
