Trial report in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04860297 (A Phase 3b, Open-Label, Safety and Immunogenicity Study of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 Vaccine in Adult Solid Organ Transplant Recipients and Healthy Controls), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Cell-mediated immunity may provide durable protection against severe COVID-19, including among solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs). This exploratory analysis in the open-label phase 3b trial evaluated cell-mediated immunity of mRNA-1273 in a subset of participants (59 kidney and 33 liver SOTRs; 12 immunocompetent participants). Methods: In Part A, SOTRs received three 100-µg doses of mRNA-1273; immunocompetent participants received two doses. In Part B, an additional 100-µg dose was offered ≥4 months after the primary series. SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein-specific T-cell responses were measured by intracellular cytokine staining and polyfunctionality analyses. Results: The primary series and additional dose of mRNA-1273 induced S protein-specific CD4 Conclusion: Overall, a three-dose mRNA-1273 primary series elicited Th-1-biased CD4 Clinical trial registration: https://beta.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04860297?term=NCT04860297%20&rank=1, identifier NCT04860297.
