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

introductionArgentina was the first South American country to adopt a single-dose hepatitis A vaccine for 1-year-old children, replacing the standard two-dose regimen in the immunization program in 2005. Here, we assessed the long-term persistence of anti-hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies following vaccination.

methodsA cohort of healthy toddlers from Mendoza, Argentina, who received one (N = 436) or two (N = 108) doses of the inactivated HAV vaccine (Avaxim

resultsAt year 15, anti-HAV antibody geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) were 73.7 (95% CI 65.0-83.6) mIU/ml and 291.1 (95% CI 226.1-375.0) mIU/ml among those who received one and two vaccine doses, respectively, and all remained seroprotected. Of the four model specifications tested, the log-logistic model with natural boosting provided the best fit to the observed antibody GMCs and seroprotection rates. At 40 years post-vaccination, GMCs were predicted to be 51.8 (95% CI 36.8-75.1) mIU/ml and 134.7 (95% CI 84.5-221.1) mIU/ml after one and two vaccine doses, respectively, with seroprotection rates of 94% (95% CI 89-98) and 93% (95% CI 88-97).
