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

backgroundPneumococcal diseases cause considerable morbidity and mortality in adults. V116 is an investigational 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) specifically designed to protect adults from pneumococcal serotypes responsible for the majority of residual pneumococcal diseases. This phase 3 study evaluated safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 in pneumococcal vaccine-experienced adults aged ≥50 years.

methodsA total of 717 adults were enrolled to receive a single dose of pneumococcal vaccine as follows: cohort 1 (n = 350) previously received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) and were randomized 2:1 to receive V116 or PCV15, respectively; cohort 2 (n = 261) previously received PCV13 and were randomized 2:1 to receive V116 or PPSV23, respectively; cohort 3 (n = 106) previously received PPSV23 + PCV13, PCV13 + PPSV23, PCV15 + PPSV23, or PCV15 and all received open-label V116. Immunogenicity was evaluated 30 days postvaccination using opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) for all V116 serotypes. Safety was evaluated as the proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs).

resultsV116 was immunogenic across all 3 cohorts as assessed by serotype-specific OPA GMTs and IgG GMCs postvaccination for all 21 serotypes. V116 elicited comparable immune responses to serotypes shared with PCV15 (cohort 1) or PPSV23 (cohort 2), and higher immune responses to serotypes unique to V116. The proportions of participants with solicited AEs were generally comparable across cohorts.

conclusionsV116 is well tolerated with a safety profile comparable to currently licensed pneumococcal vaccines and generates IgG and functional immune responses to all V116 serotypes, regardless of prior pneumococcal vaccine received.
