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

Objective: To analyze the positivity and levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in vaccinated children to evaluate the humoral immune response of vaccination on pediatric population. Analysis on the causes of antibody positivity in unvaccinated children. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on children who were admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics. The clinical data of serological testing of SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies were collected from SARS-CoV-2 vaccinated or unvaccinated children with no evidence of prior novel coronavirus infection. Chemiluminescence immunoassay was utilized for the Results: A total of 3,321 healthy children aged 6-11 years received two doses of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. At 1 month after the second dose, the positive rate (96.5%) and levels [8.039 (interquartile range (IQR), 6.067-9.098)] of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies reached the peak and remained at a high level for 2-3 months, after which the positive rate and level of vaccine-induced IgG antibody gradually decreased. Compared with 1 month after the second dose of vaccine, the positive rate of IgG antibody decreased to 70.4% at 7 months, and the antibody level decreased by 69.0%. A total of 945 children aged 3-5 years received one or two doses of inactivated vaccine. The positive rate and levels of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody in participants remained high for 3 months after vaccination. There was no gender-based difference in positive rate of IgG antibody in children aged 3-11 years old (P>0.05). Among the 5,309 unvaccinated children aged 0 day to 11 years, 105 (2.0%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody, which was associated with passive infusion. The maternal humoral response to COVID-19 vaccination in noninfected pregnant women was transferred through the placenta to the fetus, and some children obtained SARS-CoV-2-positive antibodies through blood transfusion. Conclusions: Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines could induce robust humoral immune response that gradually declined within several months after the second dose. Therefore, it helps to determine whether children receive a booster dose and elicit a long-term memory immune response. Positive SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in unvaccinated children were associated with passive IgG antibody infusion.
