Single ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 dose elicits stronger immune response in previously infected individuals than in SARS-CoV2 naive persons.

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
backgroundCurrent vaccines against COVID-19 effectively reduce morbidity and mortality and are vitally important for controlling the pandemic. Between December 2020 and February 2021, adenoviral vector vaccines such as ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca-Oxford) were put in use. Recent reports demonstrate robust serological responses to a single dose of messenger RNA vaccines in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. We aimed to study the association between previous COVID-19 infection and antibody levels after a single dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 657 individuals who were either convalescent or SARS-CoV-2 naive and had received one dose of ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca). A questionnaire was used to collect data on age, sex, and self-reported history of COVID-19 infection. We then compared the average levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) between the previously infected and COVID-19-naive participants.
resultsWe compared the antibody responses of individuals with confirmed prior COVID-19 infection with those of individuals without prior evidence of infection. The mean antibody levels in those who reported no history of COVID-19 infection were substantially lower than in those who were previously infected, in both males and females. Sex-related differences were observed when we compared antibody levels between men and women. In males, anti-S IgG antibody levels were higher in those who had been previously infected (156.1 vs. 87.69 AU/mL, p = .009), compared with the same pattern was observed in females (113.5 vs. 90.69 AU/mL, p = .005).
conclusionsPrevious COVID-19 infection is associated with higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies following ChAdOx1 (AstraZeneca) vaccination. Our finding supports the notion that a single dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 administered post-SARS-CoV-2 infection serves as an effective immune booster. This provides a possible rationale for a single-dose vaccine regimen for previously infected individuals.
