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: Adult solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) have decreased responsiveness to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination and higher incidence of infection, but there are few data on the serological response in pediatric SOTR. The aim of this study was to determine serological response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in pediatric liver (LT) and kidney transplant (KT) recipients and compare it with adult SOTR. Methods: A European, prospective, multicenter study was performed. Samples were taken at 7 and 32 wk following COVID-19 vaccination and serological endpoints were measured by ELISA. Results: A total of 42 pediatric (16 post-LT and 26 post-KT) and 117 adult (all post-LT) were included. All pediatric participants and 94% adult participants received mRNA vaccines. Paediatric SOTR patients had significantly higher anti-Spike IgG levels than adult participants at week 7 (114 220.7 [59 285.92-220 058.55] versus 8756.7 [5643.69-13 586.71], Conclusions: Paediatric SOTR demonstrate greater SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responses than comparable adult SOTR patients. These data support efficacy and safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in child SOTR and may alleviate vaccine hesitancy in this patient group.
