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

Patients with hematologic malignancies still face a significant risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-neutralizing monoclonal antibody combination tixagevimab/cilgavimab (TIX/CGB) could be administered to immunocompromised patients for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) before the emergence of TIX/CGB-resistant COVID-19 Omicron variants. TIX/CGB application could be carried out regardless of the host's immune response to previous active SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations or infections. Because the efficacy of COVID-19 PrEP remains unclear, especially in SARS-CoV-2-seropositive patients, German national guidelines recommended TIX/CGB PrEP only for SARS-CoV-2-seronegative patients in addition to an intensified active vaccination schedule. Having followed these guidelines, we now report the characteristics and outcomes of 54 recipients of TIX/CGB PrEP in SARS-CoV-2-seronegative patients with hematological disease from a German tertiary medical center and compare them to 125 seropositive patients who did not receive any PrEP. While the number of patients with B-cell lymphomas was significantly higher in the seronegative cohort (33 (61%) vs. 18 (14%) cases,
