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.

Abstract

Background: CV-NCOV-005 was conducted to generate additional safety and immunogenicity data for the former CVnCoV SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine candidate in healthcare workers (HCW). Methods: Randomised, observer blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial performed at the University Medical Center Mainz, Germany. HCWs aged ≥18 years with no history of SARS-CoV-2 infection/positive serology were randomly assigned to receive two doses of CVnCoV, or two doses of placebo (0.9% NaCl). The primary objectives were to expand the safety database of CVnCoV and assess antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2. Primary safety and reactogenicity outcomes included solicited adverse events (AEs) within 7 days after each dose and unsolicited AEs within 28 days after each dose, with safety follow-up for 13 months after first vaccination. Since HCWs became eligible to receive an authorised vaccine during enrolment and efficacy results from HERALD CVnCoV trial were made available on 30 Results: Most participants in the CVnCoV group reported at least one solicited AE, a relatively high number being Grade 3 (43.3% in CVnCoV group and 6.4% in placebo group). Most AEs were short in duration and did not affect vaccine compliance. The percentage of participants with unsolicited AEs up to 28 days after any dose was slightly higher in CVnCoV group (37.0%) compared with placebo group (31.2%). IgG binding antibodies against the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were observed after vaccination, with higher seroconversion rates and antibody levels after the second dose. Conclusion: No safety concerns for CVnCoV were identified up to 1 year post second dose. IgG responses against SARS-CoV-2 were observed after two doses, with a higher seroconversion rate and antibody levels observed after second vaccination.Study registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04674189, study period: 23
