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

SARS-CoV-2 vaccination campaigns on current endemic situation would benefit from vaccine alternatives with easy logistics and accessibility, sustained response and cross-reactivity against emerging variants. Herein, safety and immunogenicity of PHH-1V, adjuvanted recombinant RBD-based vaccine, as fourth dose for the most prevalent SARS-CoV-2 variants in Spain in subjects ≥18 years was investigated for 6 months in HIPRA-HH-2 open-label extension study. Subjects received a fourth dose of PHH-1V after either two BNT162b2 doses plus one PHH-1V dose (cohort 1) or three BNT162b2 doses (cohort 2). As regulatory endpoint, neutralization titers were investigated for PHH-1 V as fourth dose vs BNT162b2 as third dose in subjects receiving previous BNT162b2-based regimens. PHH-1 V immunogenicity (GMT) was investigated against Beta, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, BA.4/5 and XBB.1.5 on Days 14, 98 and 182 post-immunization. Two hundred and eighty-eight subjects received PHH-1V. Neutralizing antibodies against Omicron BA.1 at Day 14 significantly increased after the PHH-1V as fourth booster vs the third BNT162b2 booster (GMT ratio 0.43 (95% CI: 0.28; 0.65; p-value < .0001)). PHH-1V fourth booster induced a significant increase in neutralizing titers vs baseline (GMFR on Day 14 [95% CI]: Beta 6.96 [5.23, 9.25]; Delta 6.27 [4.79, 8.22]; Omicron BA.1 9.21 [5.57, 15.21]; Omicron BA.4/5 11.80 [8.29, 16.80]; Omicron XBB.1.5 5.22 [3.97, 6.87]), remaining significantly higher up to 6 months. The most frequent adverse events were injection site pain and fatigue. As conclusion, PHH-1V booster induced sustained humoral and cellular immune response against Beta, Delta variants and cross reactivity against distant Omicron subvariants and could be an appropriate strategy for implementing heterologous vaccination campaigns.
