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

A great number of COVID-19 patients was caused by Omicron BA.5 subvariant between December 2022 and January 2023 after the end of the zero-COVID-19 policy in China. In this study, we clarified the epidemiological and immunological characteristics of 457 enrolled middle-aged and elderly population in two housing estates after Omicron BA.5 wave. A total of 89.9 % (411/457) individuals have suffered Omicron BA.5 infection, among which 78.1 % (321/411) were symptomatic. The elderly patients were more likely to show fatigue and had longer symptomatic period than that of middle-aged patients post Omicron BA.5 infection. Omicron XBB and BA.2.86 subvariants extensively escaped the immunity elicited by Omicron BA.5 infection. The level of neutralizing antibody was mostly affected by vaccination doses rather than underlying disease status in these participants. It is very important to strengthen the epidemiological investigation and immune resistance assessment among elderly population for control of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
