Immunogenicity and Safety of SpikoGen, an Adjuvanted Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein, as a Heterologous Third Booster Dose in Kidney Transplant Patients: A Single-arm Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Clinical therapeutics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeStudies have found that immunocompromised patients have suboptimal responses to COVID-19 vaccines, leading to approval of a need for booster doses in this population. SpikoGen® is a subunit recombinant spike protein vaccine combined with Advax-CpG55.2™ adjuvant to protect against COVID-19. Previous clinical trials found this vaccine to be tolerable, immunogenic, and efficacious in reducing the risk of COVID-19, including severe disease. However, the effects of this vaccine have not been assessed in immunocompromised patients. This study sought to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the SpikoGen vaccine as a third booster dose in patients undergoing kidney transplant who were receiving immunosuppressive therapy and had received their primary vaccination based on an inactivated whole virus platform (Sinopharm).
methodsThis single-arm trial was performed with 43 patients undergoing kidney transplant. The participants received a single booster dose of the SpikoGen vaccine 1 to 3 months after primary vaccination with 2 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine. Immunogenicity assessments were performed at baseline and 30 days after the booster dose. The primary outcomes were seroconversion rates of anti-S
findingsThe SpikoGen vaccine induced positive humoral and cellular responses 30 days after the booster dose in those patients who were seropositive or seronegative after 2 primary doses of the Sinopharm vaccine. Thirty days after the SpikoGen vaccine booster, seroconversion rates were 35.29% (95% CI, 19.75%-53.51%) to anti-S IMPLICATIONS: A single booster dose of SpikoGen vaccine given 1 to 3 months after primary vaccination with 2 doses of Sinopharm vaccine induced positive humoral and cellular immune responses in immunosuppressed patients undergoing renal transplant, thereby achieving spike antibody levels predictive of protection. This study was performed as a single-center study, and it will be important for future large multicenter studies to extend these results to other immunocompromised patient groups.
