SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections after COVID-19 vaccination in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an attenuated serologic response to COVID-19 vaccination. It is unclear whether an impaired immune response in vaccinated IBD patients impacts the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and occurrence of severe COVID-19. Objectives: To evaluate SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection rates and the disease course of COVID-19 in vaccinated IBD patients. Design: A systematic literature search and meta-analysis was performed. Data sources and methods: The search was performed in Embase, Medline, Web of Science Core Collection, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and CINAHIL. The articles were independently screened and selected by two reviewers. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled relative risk for breakthrough infections in vaccinated IBD patients and controls. Results: A total of 16 studies were included, with study periods ranging from January 2020 to October 2021 and follow-up time from 3 weeks to 6 months. The breakthrough infection rates range from 0 to 37.4% in vaccinated IBD patients. The disease course of COVID-19 was generally mild, with low hospitalization and mortality rates (0-8.7% and 0-4.3%, respectively). Vaccinated IBD patients had a significantly lower relative risk of breakthrough infection rate compared to unvaccinated controls (risk ratio: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.03-0.18). No difference was observed between IBD patients and non-IBD controls, and between partially and fully vaccinated IBD patients. The impact of immunosuppressive therapy on breakthrough infection rates differs between studies. Most studies showed no impact from immunosuppressive treatment, anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha or corticosteroids and other biologics; one study reported higher rates for patients treated with infliximab Conclusion: Vaccination is effective to prevent COVID-19 infections in patients with IBD. Breakthrough infections do occur, but the disease course is generally mild. Available data seem to suggest a declining trend of breakthrough infections during calendar time. Registration: The protocol was published in the PROSPERO database (CRD42021292853).
