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

Pneumococcal vaccination schedules are traditionally assessed based on the antibody response. The Memory B Cell (MBC) response has been less studied, despite its role in the magnitude and longevity of protection. We compared the immune response to different vaccination schedules with the 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13) and investigated the relationship between MBCs and the antibody response. Total and pneumococcal serotype (PS)-specific MBCs, their subsets and PS-specific IgG antibodies induced by a 3 + 0 (group A), 2 + 1 (group B) or 3 + 1 (group C) schedule in healthy infants were studied before and 1 month after the last PCV13. The relatively immature IgM+IgD+ MBC subset was the predominant subset in all groups but was larger in group A compared to group B and group C, indicating that age might be a significant parameter of the composition of the MBC pool. PS-specific MBCs at baseline were higher in group A, but they increased significantly only in the groups receiving the booster schedules (groups B and C). PS-specific IgM-only MBCs at baseline positively corelated with the antibody response and the PS-specific swIg MBCs post-immunization. Our findings illustrate the importance of a booster dose for the enrichment of PS-specific immunological memory. IgM-only MBCs and swIg MBCs may serve as additional correlates of vaccine-induced protection.
