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

backgroundA third dose of the BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine leads to a significant increase in antibody levels, however, concerns regarding the long-term persistence of this response exist. We assessed the humoral response for one year following vaccination.

methodsA prospective study among immunocompetent healthcare workers (HCW) who received three doses of BNT162b2. anti-spike antibody titers were measured at six predefined timepoints, from before the second vaccine dose, and up to one year afterwards, which is 4-6 months after the third dose. HCW with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection were excluded.

resultsSeventy-six HCW had all the six serological measurements. Antibody titers significantly increased shortly following the third vaccine dose, and while declining, remained higher from all previous measurements for up to six months.

conclusionsA third dose of BNT162b2 leads to a profound humoral response, which remains significantly higher than previous measurements, even after 6 months.
