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

Purpose: In patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection overweight and diabetes are associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, effectiveness and tolerance of booster vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has to be ensured. We examined the impact of overweight and diabetes on anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers and the incidence of side effects after booster vaccination. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study with consecutive recruitment and convenience sampling of 100 participants vaccinated three times against SARS-CoV-2. Anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers, immunological parameters and biochemical markers of glucose metabolism were measured. Prevalence of vaccination side effects was assessed by personal interview. Moreover, metabolic status was assessed by performance of body composition measurement and body impedance analysis. The glycemic and metabolic parameters were correlated with the anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers and the incidence of side effects. The results were compared between patient with and without overweight and diabetes. Results: Levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers did not differ between participants with and without overweight (5756.6 ± 6848.9 vs. 4997.0 ± 5050.3, p.83) or participants with and without diabetes (6681.0 ± 6795.2 vs. 5124.0 ± 5070.4 BAU/ml, Conclusions: Overweight and diabetes are not associated with lower anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers after booster vaccination. Parameters of the body composition and body impedance analysis did not reveal any further association regarding development of anti-SARS-CoV-2-titers. Vaccination side effects are more likely to occur in participants without diabetes.
