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

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has tremendous implications for the management of patients with autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS) under immune therapies targeting CD20 Objectives: Here, we investigated humoral and cellular immune responses, including anti-spike titers, neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 wild-type (WT), delta, and omicron variant and T cell responses of aCD20-treated relapsing-remitting MS patients following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination compared with healthy controls. Methods: Blood samples were collected within 4-8 weeks following the second vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Sera were analyzed for anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies and neutralization capacity against pseudovirus for wild-type (WT), delta, and omicron variant. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with a SARS-CoV-2 peptide pool and analyzed Results: The aCD20-treated MS patients had lower anti-SARS-CoV-2-spike titers, which correlated with B cell repopulation. Sera of aCD20-treated patients had reduced capacity to neutralize WT, delta, and omicron pseudoviruses Conclusion: In summary, aCD20-treated patients have a reduced humoral immune response, depending on B cell repopulation, in accordance with preserved cellular immune response, suggesting partial cellular protection against SARS-CoV-2.
