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

Objectives: Despite vaccination strategies, people with chronic kidney disease, particularly kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), remained at high risk of poor COVID-19 outcomes. We assessed serological responses to the three-dose COVID-19 vaccine schedule in KTRs and people on dialysis, as well as seroresponse predictors and the relationship between responses and breakthrough infection. Methods: Plasma from 30 KTRs and 17 people receiving dialysis was tested for anti-Spike receptor binding domain (RBD) IgG and neutralising antibodies (NAb) to the ancestral and Omicron BA.2 variant after Doses 2 and 3 of vaccination. Results: After three doses, KTRs achieved lower anti-Spike RBD IgG levels ( Conclusion: Serological responses to COVID-19 vaccines in KTRs lag behind their dialysis counterparts. KTRs remained at high risk of breakthrough infection after their primary vaccination schedule underlining their need for booster doses, strict infection prevention measures and close surveillance.
