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

Assessment of cellular immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is of great interest in chronically immunosuppressed transplant recipients (Tr), who are predisposed to infections and vaccination failures. We evaluated CD154-expressing T-cells induced by spike (S) antigenic peptides in 204 subjects-103 COVID-19 patients and 101 healthy unexposed subjects. S-reactive CD154+T-cell frequencies were a) higher in 42 healthy unexposed Tr who were sampled pre-pandemic, compared with healthy NT (p=0.02), b) lower in Tr COVID-19 patients compared with healthy Tr (p<0.0001) and were accompanied by lower S-reactive B-cell frequencies (p<0.05), c) lower in Tr with severe COVID-19 (p<0.0001), or COVID-19 requiring hospitalization (p<0.05), compared with healthy Tr. Among Tr with COVID-19, cytomegalovirus co-infection occurred in 34%; further, incidence of anti-receptor-binding-domain IgG (p=0.011) was lower compared with NT COVID-19 patients. Healthy unexposed Tr exhibit pre-existing T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 impairs anti-S T-cell and antibody and predisposes to CMV co-infection in transplant recipients.
