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

Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus were authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and have proven effective for the prevention of morbidity and death from COVID-19. Certain immunosuppressant medications prevent the development of protective immunity following COVID-19 vaccination. In December 2021, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a monoclonal-antibody combination of tixagevimab and cilgavimab, under the brand name Evusheld, for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against COVID-19 for individuals with moderate-to-severe immune compromise. While a 77% reduction in symptomatic COVID-19 was observed in the PROVENT study, the trial was conducted prior to emergence of the B.1.1.529 Omicron variant. We suspected reduced efficacy of PrEP against Omicron subvariants. We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing the prevalence of symptomatic COVID-19 infections between 1 January 2022 and 1 July 2022 in eligible patients treated with PrEP versus untreated using a questionnaire administered with the REDCap survey tool. Responses from 235 participants were included in the final analysis, with 176 untreated respondents and 59 in the PrEP cohort. Symptomatic COVID-19 infections were reported in 50 (28.4%) untreated participants and only 9 (15.3%) of those who received PrEP (
