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

backgroundMultiple clades of H1N1 influenza A viruses (IAVs) circulated during the 2019-2020 season. Here, we completed serological assays to determine the specificities of serum antibodies from humans infected with viruses from different H1N1 clades during the 2019-2020 season.

methodsWe collected nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs and serum from influenza-infected individuals who received care within the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS). We sequenced H1N1 viruses from NP swabs and completed hemagglutination inhibition assays using serum and viruses from different H1N1 clades that we identified from NP swabs. We also collected serum samples from influenza B virus (IBV)-infected patients at UPHS, allowing us to examine antibody titers associated with H1N1 versus IBV infection.

resultsSequence analyses revealed that most IAV-infected individuals were infected with clade 6B.1A.5a.1 and 6B.1A.5a.2 H1N1 viruses that possessed substitutions at major antigenic sites of hemagglutinin. We found that antibodies from both H1N1- and IBV-infected individuals recognized the 6B.1A.1 H1N1 vaccine component of the 2019-2020 vaccine more efficiently compared to the circulating 6B.1A.5a.1 and 6B.1A.5a.2 H1N1 viruses. Patients infected with 6B.1A.5a.2 clade H1N1 viruses had significantly higher titers against the vaccine strain virus, suggesting that the 6B.1A.5a.2 virus evaded antibodies elicited from previous vaccinations or infections.

conclusionsThese studies suggest that most individuals, irrespective of whether they were infected with H1N1 virus or IBV during the 2019-2020 season, possessed antibodies that poorly reacted to circulating H1N1 strains.
