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

Despite the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, patients with hematologic malignancy may still be fatal from COVID19. Therefore, we prospectively performed the analysis of administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab in the real-world. In August 2022, 94 patients under active chemotherapy for lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or acute leukemia received a single dose AZD7442/Evusheld (two consecutive intramuscular injections of tixagevimab and cilgavimab, 300 mg each). Quantitative measurement of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-S) and viral nucleocapsid (anti-N) titers were conducted before administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab and at 1, 3, and 6 months after administration. Twenty-five patients (26.6%) had previously confirmed COVID-19 infection. Fifty-eight patients (61.7%) had previously received COVID-19 vaccinations, with a median of two doses (range, 1-5). The median anti-S Ab level increased from baseline (997.05 AU/mL) to 1 month (20,967.25 AU/mL), then decreased at 3 months (13,145.0 AU/mL), and 6 months (7123.0 AU/mL) (p < 0.001). There was no significant safety issue with tixagevimab/cilgavimab. With a median follow-up time of 6 months, thirteen patients (13.8%) had documented SARS-Cov-2 infection. A 20.2% rate of anti-N positivity was observed six months after the administration of tixagevimab/cilgavimab. The results of this study support the potential role of tixagevimab/cilgavimab for the prevention of symptomatic and severe COVID-19.Trial registration: KCT0007617; August 16, 2022.
