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 caused over 6 million deaths world-wide. In the pre-vaccination era, we noted a 5·3% SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody positivity rate in 81,624 subjects. Methods: Utilizing assays for serum SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein antibody (Roche) and neutralizing antibody (Diazyme), both >90% IgG, we measured antibodies in 13,189 subjects in the post-vaccination era, and in 69 subjects before and 60 days after booster vaccination. Results: In 2021, in 10,267 subjects, 25·0% had negative S protein levels (<0.80 U/L), 24·4% had low positive levels (0.80-250 U/L), and 50·7% had high positive levels (>250 U/L). Median neutralizing antibody levels were 1·16 and 2·06 AU/mL in the low and high positive groups, respectively. In 2022, we evaluated 2,016 subjects where samples were diluted 1:100 if S protein antibody levels were >250 U/L. Median S protein and neutralizing antibody levels were 2,065 U/L (86.3% positivity) and 2·68 AU/mL (68.0% positivity), respectively. Antibody levels were also measured in 69 subjects before and 60 days after receiving SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccinations. Treatment resulted in a 15-fold increase in S protein antibody levels from 1,010 to 17,236 U/L, and a 6-fold increase in neutralizing antibody from 1·51 to 12·51 AU/mL in neutralizing antibody levels, respectively (both Conclusions: Our data indicate that by early 2022 86% of subjects had positive SARS-CoV-2 S protein antibody levels, and that these levels and neutralizing antibody levels were increased 15-fold and 6-fold, respectively, 60 days after SARS-Cov-2 booster vaccination.
