Epitope Mapping of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Antibodies in Vaccinated Kidney Transplant Recipients Reveals Poor Spike Coverage Compared to Healthy Controls.
Article in The Journal of infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04969263 (Immunogenicity of a Third Dose of Either the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine in Kidney Transplant Recipients Who Failed to Respond After Two Previous Doses), which is not on this map.

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
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) develop decreased antibody titers to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination compared to healthy controls (HCs), but whether KTRs generate antibodies against key epitopes associated with neutralization is unknown. Plasma from 78 KTRs from a clinical trial of third doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and 12 HCs underwent phage display immunoprecipitation and sequencing (PhIP-Seq) to map antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2. KTRs had lower antibody reactivity to SARS-CoV-2 than HCs, but KTRs and HCs recognized similar epitopes associated with neutralization. Thus, epitope gaps in antibody breadth of KTRs are unlikely responsible for decreased efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in this immunosuppressed population. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT04969263.
