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

importanceThis study analyzed changes in group immunity induced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and BA.1/BA.2 breakthrough infections (BIs) in a healthcare worker cohort. We investigated the longitudinal kinetics of neutralizing antibodies against circulating variants and confirmed that BA.1/BA.2 BIs enhance the magnitude and durability of cross-neutralization against BA.1 and BA.5. Correlation equations between semi-quantitative anti-spike antibody and plaque reduction neutralization test titers were deduced from the measured values using a linear regression model. Based on the equations, group immunity was estimated to last up to 11 months following the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The estimated group immunity suggests that the augmented immunity and flattened waning slope through BI could correlate with the overall outbreak size. Our findings could provide a better understanding to establish public health strategies against future endemicity.
