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

During the COVID-19 pandemic, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients had elevated mortality rates from SARS-CoV-2 infection, ranging between 10-40%. SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines are important tools in preventing severe disease, yet their efficacy post-transplant remains unclear, especially in patients subjected to myeloablative chemotherapy and immunosuppression. We evaluated humoral and adaptive immune responses to the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination series in 42 HSCT recipients and 5 healthy controls. Post-vaccination responses were assessed by anti-spike IgG and nucleocapsid levels, and antigen specific T cell activity. Immune profiling was performed using clinical flow and mass cytometry. Patients were selected based on humoral and cellular responses for single-cell RNA with TCR and BCR sequencing. Our studies revealed defects in memory T cells that correlated with an absence of cellular response despite nearly universal humoral response. Several patients with a robust antibody response developed COVID-19 infection, but none developed severe disease or died from the infection.
