Effects of Sirolimus Treatment on Fetal Hemoglobin Production and Response to SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination: A Case Report Study.
Article in Hematology reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
The β-thalassemias are a group of monogenic hereditary hematological disorders caused by deletions and/or mutations of the β-globin gene, leading to low or absent production of adult hemoglobin (HbA). For β-thalassemia, sirolimus has been under clinical consideration in two trials (NCT03877809 and NCT04247750). A reduced immune response to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination has been reported in organ recipient patients treated with the immunosuppressant sirolimus. Therefore, there was some concern regarding the fact that monotherapy with sirolimus would reduce the antibody response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. In the representative clinical case reported in this study, sirolimus treatment induced the expected increase of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) but did not prevent the production of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG after vaccination with mRNA-1273 (Moderna). In our opinion, this case report should stimulate further studies on β-thalassemia patients under sirolimus monotherapy in order to confirm the safety (or even the positive effects) of sirolimus with respect to the humoral response to anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. In addition, considering the extensive use of sirolimus for the treatment of other human pathologies (for instance, in organ transplantation, systemic lupus erythematosus, autoimmune cytopenia, and lymphangioleiomyomatosis), this case report study might be of general interest, as large numbers of patients are currently under sirolimus treatment.
