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

Vaccination is considered the most promising approach for addressing the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even vaccinated people remain at risk. In this study, we examined the association between levels of vaccination and clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients. We conducted a retrospective review of adults hospitalized with COVID-19 infection. Of 484 patients, fully vaccinated (OR = 0.49, p = 0.001) and updated patients (OR = 0.46, p = 0.004) had significantly lower probability of critical severity compared to unvaccinated. Vaccination status is significantly related with 30-day mortality (p = 0.005) but not significantly associated with need for respiratory support or ICU stay. Mean length of stay (LOS) of 6.6 days among boosted patients is significantly lower than patients with no vaccination status (10.7 d, p < 0.001). Our study findings provide real-world evidence of the benefit of booster vaccinations against critical infection and death as well as shortcomings in ICU stay, length of stay or need for ventilatory support.
