Durability of Immune Response after Application of a Third Dose of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination in Liver Transplant Recipients.
Article in Vaccines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Immunogenicity after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is known to be impaired in liver transplant (LT) recipients, but the results after the application of a third dose show significant improvement in seroconversion rates. In the general population, the antibody response wanes over the course of time after two doses of the vaccination, but seems to be more robust after the application of three doses. Still, the durability of the antibody response in LT recipients who receive a third dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has not been analyzed yet. We therefore assessed antibody responses in a total of 300 LT recipients and observed antibody titers for six months each after patients had received the second and the third doses of the vaccination, explicitly excluding all patients who had suffered from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The initial antibody response was compared to a control group of 122 healthcare workers. After the application of two doses of the vaccination, 74% of LT recipients (158 out of 213) developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2; this result depended significantly on whether the patients were taking the medication mycophenolate mofetil, and on the age of the patients. Antibody titers declined significantly within six months from 407 BAU/mL (IQR: 0-1865) to 105 BAU/mL (IQR: 0-145) (
