Dynamic antibody response in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients and COVID-19 vaccine recipients alongside vaccine effectiveness in comorbid and multimorbid groups.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objectives: Underlying medical conditions are critical risk factors for COVID-19 susceptibility and its rapid clinical manifestation. Therefore, the preexisting burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) makes the preparedness for COVID-19 more challenging for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These countries have relied on vaccination campaigns as an effective measure to tackle COVID-19. In this study, we investigated the impact of comorbidities on humoral antibody responses against the specific receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV2. Methods: A total of 1005 patients were selected for the SARS-CoV-2 specific immunoglobulin G (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses) and total antibody (TAb) tests (IgG and IgM), of which 912 serum samples were ultimately selected based on the specimen cutoff analyte value. Patients with multimorbidity (N = 60) were recruited for follow-up studies from the initial cohort, and their immune response (IgG and TAb) was measured at multiple time points after the second dose of vaccination. Siemens Dimension Vista SARS-CoV-2 IgG (CV2G) and SARS-CoV-2 TAb assay (CV2T) were used to carry out the serology test. Results: Out of a total of 912 participants, vaccinated individuals (N = 711) had detectable antibody responses up to 7-8 months. The synergistic effect of natural infection and vaccine response was also studied. Participants with breakthrough infections (N = 49) mounted a greater antibody response compared to individuals with normal vaccination response (N = 397) and those who were naturally infected before receiving the second dose of vaccine (N = 132). Investigation of the impact of comorbidities revealed that diabetes mellitus (DM) (N = 117) and kidney disease (N = 50) had a significant negative impact on the decline of the humoral antibody response against SARS-CoV-2. IgG and TAb declined more rapidly in diabetic and kidney disease patients compared to the other four comorbid groups. Follow-up studies demonstrated that antibody response rapidly declined within 4 months after receiving the second dose. Conclusion: The generalized immunization schedule for COVID-19 needs to be adjusted for high-risk comorbid groups, and a booster dose must be administered early within 4 months after receiving the second dose.
