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
Introduction: Humoral immunity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been extensively investigated in blood. Aim of this study was to develop an ELISA method in order to determine the prevalence of IgG and IgA SARS-CoV-2 domain 1 spike-protein (S) specific antibodies (Abs) in buccal and nasal mucosal surfaces of vaccinees. Methods: To this end, we analyzed 69 individuals who received their first vaccine dose between February and July 2021. Vaccines administered were BNT162b2, mRNA-1273 or ChAdOx1-nCoV-19. Detection of IgG and IgA Abs was performed using commercial ELISA kits for both blood and swab samples after protocol modification for the latter. Results: Anti-spike IgG and IgA Abs in the buccal and/or nasal swabs were detectable in >81% of the study subjects after the second dose. The IgG measurements in buccal swabs appeared to correlate in a more consistent way with the respective measurements in blood with a correlation coefficient of r=0.74. It is of note that IgA Abs appeared to be significantly more prevalent in the nasal compared to the buccal mucosa. Optimal selection of the assay cut-off for the IgG antibody detection in buccal swabs conferred a sensitivity of 91.8% and a specificity of 100%. Last, individuals vaccinated with mRNA-based vaccines exhibited higher antibody levels in both blood and mucosal surfaces compared to those receiving ChAdOx1-nCoV-19 confirming previously reported results. Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show a differential prevalence of anti-S Abs on mucosal surfaces after vaccination for SARS-CoV-2, while they also set the basis for potential future use of IgG antibody detection in buccal swabs for extended immunity screening in large populations.
