A seroprevalence study of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal coronaviruses after the first SARS-CoV-2 circulation in New Caledonia, Pacific region.
Article in IJID regions, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of immunoglobulin G antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 and other human coronaviruses after the first circulation of SARS-CoV-2 in New Caledonia, Pacific region. Methods: Blood samples were collected to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G antibodies. The sampling took place between July 2021 and July 2022 but was interrupted after the first circulation of SARS-CoV-2 (September 2021-March 2022) in New Caledonia. Data on ethnicity, age, gender, main residence, and anteriority of COVID-19 and vaccination were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 747 participants, representative of New Caledonia's adult population, were included in the study. We found that 81% of the population had antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 at the end of July 2022. The vaccination rate was 75%, whereas infections had affected 40% of the population. Individuals aged >45 years were significantly more vaccinated than those aged 18-44 years (80%, 95% confidence interval 74-84%). Oceanians were the most infected (50%, 95% confidence interval 42-57%). Conclusion: In New Caledonia, we show a high immunity rate (81%) after the first waves of SARS-CoV-2 circulation and the vaccination campaign. The analyses showed spatial heterogeneities in the infection rate across the territory and revealed that Oceanians were the most infected. Our study also highlighted high exposure of New Caledonia's population to other human coronaviruses.
