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

There is an increasing need to understand the long-term dynamics and quality of SARS-CoV-2 immune memory-both humoral and cellular-particularly with emerging variants. This study aimed to evaluate immune durability and variant-specific modulation through a longitudinal analysis of individuals with diverse SARS-CoV-2 exposure histories, over two years after infection and/or vaccination. The study involved assessing anti-spike IgG and IgA levels over time and analyzing their relationship with neutralizing activity against both ancestral and Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants. Persistence of T cell responses was evaluated using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) and activation-induced marker (AIM) assays. Anti-S IgG levels remained stable over time and increased after each immune stimulation, suggesting cumulative immune memory. Neutralizing capacity correlated strongly with IgG levels, showing long-term stability for pre-Omicron variants, but a moderate decline for Omicron. CD4
