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

Tixagevimab-cilgavimab was available for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) prevention from December 2021 to January 2023, with dosing changes to reflect circulating variants. In a retrospective analysis of 597 immunocompromised individuals, incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection was compared between those who did and did not receive tixagevimab-cilgavimab. A proportional hazards regression model with a time-dependent regressor for tixagevimab-cilgavimab dose was applied to assess cumulative doses. Secondary analyses were performed in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy recipients. There was no difference in SARS-CoV-2 infections between tixagevimab-cilgavimab recipients and controls (p = 0.27). There was a trend towards protection with increasing dose from 150 (HR 0.83, CI 0.50-1.38) to 600 mg (HR 0.48, CI 0.06-3.63) when truncating data on November 1st, 2022, which was also seen in HSCT or CAR-T cell therapy recipients, 150 mg (HR 0.71, CI 0.31-1.65) to 600 mg (HR 0.26, CI 0.01-7.47). This was most evident in immunocompromised individuals when variants neutralized by tixagevimab-cilgavimab in vitro were circulating; effectiveness 74%. Supports a proof of concept for monoclonal antibodies in immunocompromised individuals as a prevention strategy against novel viruses.
