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: The rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to a global health crisis, necessitating swift responses in medical science, mainly through vaccination strategies. While short-term vaccine effectiveness is evident, immune protection's long-term effects and duration remain incompletely understood. Systematic monitoring of these responses is essential for optimizing vaccination strategies. Aims: This study aimed to explore the durability of antigen-specific T and B cell responses and antibody levels up to 8 months post-immunization with the inactivated TURKOVAC vaccine in volunteers. Additionally, the impact of two versus three doses of vaccination on these parameters was analyzed. Methods: Volunteers ( Results: Spike-specific B cells remained elevated up to 8 months post-immunization. SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4 Conclusion: TURKOVAC vaccination induces durable immune responses, with spike-specific B cells persisting up to 8 months and T cell responses peaking at 4 months before declining. These findings suggest that TURKOVAC contributes to long-term immune protection against SARS-CoV-2.
