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

backgroundHuman papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers are vaccine preventable. In 2016, the previously recommended three-dose HPV vaccination series was changed to a two-dose series and nine-valent HPV vaccine (9vHPV) became the only HPV vaccine available in the United States. Data on longer-term duration of antibodies following a 9vHPV two-dose series are limited. We evaluated the immunogenicity and duration of antibodies up to three years after vaccination with a two-dose series of 9vHPV in a cohort of Alaska Native children.

methodsWe enrolled Alaska Native children aged 9-14 years who received 9vHPV in Anchorage, Alaska during 2017-2018. We collected sera at six months after dose one and at one month, one year, and three years after dose two to measure type-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations for the 9vHPV types (HPV6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58). Aggregate type-specific IgG concentrations were reported as geometric mean concentrations (GMC).

resultsA total of 227 children completed the two-dose series of 9vHPV and provided ≥ 1 blood sample. The median age at enrollment was 11.0 years (range: 9.0-14.6) and was similar between males and females (p = 0.11). At one month after dose two, all 197 participants with available serum were seropositive for all 9vHPV types. Among 145 participants who had a specimen available at three years after dose two, 134 (92%) remained seropositive for all 9vHPV types. GMC peaked for all types at one month post dose two and remained higher at three years post dose two compared to six months post dose one.

conclusionsWe found high immunogenicity and antibody persistence after a two-dose series of 9vHPV in this cohort of Alaska Native children. Further follow-up will determine duration of antibody detection in this cohort.
