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

Vaccine efficacy varies significantly among adults. This variability underlies the limitation of a one-size-fits-all vaccination strategy and the need for more personalized approaches. We investigated factors influencing inter-individual variability in antibody responses to COVID-19 mRNA vaccine among adults. Neutralizing antibody (nAb) levels after the first vaccine dose were associated with infection outcomes within 1 year after vaccination, suggesting their potential as a correlate of protection. Age, sex, and Chinese ethnicity were associated with nAb and anti-spike protein antibody levels. Two indels located at chr1:31433042 and chr15:76311269 showed significant association with antibody responses. Leveraging these host factors, we developed a Random Forest model that predicted vaccine-induced antibody responses with 72.7% accuracy for mRNA vaccine and 76.9% for the Sinopharm COVID-19 inactivated virus vaccine. These findings support predictive modeling as a tool to identify individuals at risk of low vaccine responses, enabling more targeted and effective vaccination strategies.
