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 neutralizing ability of sotrovimab and casirivimab/imdevimab against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is attenuated in the subvariant BA.5. However, the efficacy of sotrovimab in the clinical setting remains to be investigated. Methods: Patients admitted to Kishiwada City Hospital with COVID-19 delta, omicron BA.1, or BA.5 subvariants were evaluated retrospectively for serum SARS-CoV-2 S and N antibody levels using the Elecsys Anti-SARS-CoV-2 assay. Results: In patients with COVID-19 during the BA.5 wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-SARS-CoV-2 S antibody titers (median [interquartile range]) increased from 2154.0 (864.0−6669.3) U/mL on day 0 to 21,371.0 (19,656.3−32,225.0) U/mL on day 3 in the group treated with sotrovimab (N = 40) and were significantly higher than in the group treated with remdesivir plus dexamethasone plus baricitinib (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Treatment with sotrovimab could prevent severe disease in high-risk patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 subvariant BA.5.
