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

We investigated humoral and T-cell response to a SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in solid organ transplant recipients (SOT-Rs) and healthy donors (HDs) before (T0) and after two (T1) and twelve months (T2) since the third dose administration. SOT-Rs were stratified according to the transplanted organ and to the time elapsed since the transplant. In SOT-Rs, detectable levels of anti-S antibodies were observed in 44%, 81% and 88% at T0, T1 and T2, respectively. Conversely, anti-S antibody levels were detected in 100% of HD at all time points. Lower antibody titers were observed in SOT-Rs compared to HDs, even stratifying by transplanted organs and the time elapsed since transplant. Lower percentages of responding and polyfunctional T-cells were observed in SOT-Rs as well as in each subgroup of SOT-Rs compared to HDs. At both T0 and T1, in SOT-Rs, a predominance of one cytokine production shortly was observed. Conversely, at T2, a dynamic change in the T-cells subset distribution was observed, similar to what was observed in HDs. In SOT-Rs, the third dose increased the rate of seroconversion, although anti-S levels remained lower compared to HDs, and a qualitatively inferior T-cell response to vaccination was observed. Vaccine effectiveness in SOT-Rs is still suboptimal and might be improved by booster doses and prophylactic strategies.
