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

The nature of vaccine response inferiority is not well studied in children living with HIV (CLHIV). The authors investigated Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Diphtheria/Pertussis/Tetanus toxoid (DPT) vaccination responses following primary immunization in CLHIV (n = 42) and healthy controls (HC) (n = 38) and the effect of an additional vaccine dose. Antibody responses, CD4 and HBV-specific T/B cells were analysed using CMIA/ELISA and flow-cytometry. CLHIV had significantly lower baseline median antibody titres for all vaccines than HC (p <0.02). Differential seroprotection rates observed in CLHIV were, 4.8% for pertussis; 9.5% for HBV; 26.2% for diphtheria and 66.7% for tetanus. WHO staging significantly influenced anti-HBs levels (p = 0.0095). HBsAg-specific CD4+T-cells were significantly higher in CLHIV than HC (p = 0.042). An additional vaccine dose (HBV and Tdap) conferred a higher protection rate for tetanus and diphtheria (p <0.040) in CLHIV. These findings suggest that CLHIV exhibit a hierarchy of vaccine responses affecting antibody levels and protection rate, which was rescued by administering additional vaccine dose.
