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

The approved combination of Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab has been shown to decrease the rate of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients at increased risk of inadequate response to vaccination. However, Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab was tested in a few studies that included patients with hematological malignancies, even if this population has shown an increased risk of unfavorable outcomes following infection (with high rates of hospitalization, intensive care unit admission, and mortality) and poor significant immunization following vaccines. We performed a real-life prospective cohort study to evaluate the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection following pre-exposure prophylaxis with Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab in anti-spike seronegative patients compared to a cohort of seropositive patients who were observed or received a fourth vaccine dose. We recruited 103 patients with a mean age of 67 years: 35 (34%) received Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab and were followed from March 17, 2022, until November 15, 2022. After a median follow-up of 4.24 months, the 3-month cumulative incidence of infection was 20% versus 12% in the Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab and observation/vaccine groups respectively (HR 1.57; 95% CI: 0.65-3.56; p = 0.34). In this study, we report our experience with Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab and a tailored approach to SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention in patients with hematological malignancies during the SARS-CoV-2 omicron surge.
