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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesmRNA vaccines have demonstrated strong immunogenicity and efficacy against SARS-CoV-2. However, the extent of antibody cross-reactivity against human seasonal coronaviruses, such as NL63, remains unclear. Furthermore, it is unknown whether pre-existing antibody responses against NL63 might influence the outcome of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination.

methodsWe used a flow cytometry-based serological assay and an in vitro neutralization assay to analyze NL63 antibody responses in sera from SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-vaccinated mice and plasma samples from a vaccinated human cohort.

resultsWe found that the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine can generate cross-reactive antibodies against NL63. Importantly, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination did not boost pre-existing anti-NL63 responses in humans, and pre-existing NL63 antibody levels did not affect the antibody response induced by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination.

conclusionsThese findings suggest that while SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination can induce cross-reactive antibodies against NL63, pre-existing immunity to this seasonal coronavirus does not appear to significantly impact vaccine immunogenicity. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex interplay between pre-existing immunity to seasonal coronaviruses and the immune response generated by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines.
