Humoral Immunity After COVID-19 Vaccination in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Other Indolent Lymphomas: A Single-Center Observational Study.
Observational study in The oncologist, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) lead to broad immunosuppression, conferring a greater risk for morbidity and mortality from SARS-CoV-2. Our study analyzed antibody (Ab) seropositivity from SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with these cancers.
methodsIn the final analysis, 240 patients were involved, and seropositivity was defined as a positive total or spike protein Ab.
resultsSeropositivity was 50% in CLL, 68% in WM, and 70% in the remaining NHLs. Moderna vaccination led to higher seropositivity compared to Pfizer vaccination across all cancers (64% vs. 49%; P = .022) and specifically CLL patients (59% vs. 43%; P = .029). This difference was not explainable by differences in treatment status or prior anti-CD20 monoclonal Ab therapy. In CLL patients, current or prior cancer therapy led to lower seropositivity compared to treatment-naïve patients (36% vs. 68%; P = .000019). CLL patients treated with Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors had better seropositivity after receiving the Moderna vaccination compared to Pfizer (50% vs. 23%; P = .015). Across all cancers, anti-CD20 agents within 1 year led to a lower Ab response compared to greater than one year (13% vs. 40%; P = .022), a difference which persisted after booster vaccination.
conclusionAntibody response is lower in patients with indolent lymphomas compared to the general population. Lower Ab seropositivity was found in patients with a history of anti-leukemic agent therapy or those immunized with Pfizer vaccine. This data suggests that Moderna vaccination may confer a greater degree of immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with indolent lymphomas.
