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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveEvaluating vaccine effectiveness (VE) is essential to implementing prevention strategies, and our objective was to estimate the VE of SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe carried out a population-based, prospective cohort study on the Borriana COVID-19 cohort (Valencia Community, Spain) during the 2021-2023 period, considering all SARS-CoV-2 cases that occurred after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine campaign started in January 2021 (first approach), as well as only symptomatic cases (second approach). Multivariable robust Poisson regression models were employed.

resultsIn this cohort with 301 participants, 285 were vaccinated, among whom 228 received only SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines, and 57 received mRNA vaccines and other vaccines. In the first approach, there were 226 cases and 75 non-cases. The adjusted VE for three doses of vaccine was 37% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 22-49%) to prevent infection. In the second approach, with 153 symptomatic cases after excluding 73 asymptomatic cases, the adjusted VE for three doses of vaccine was 50% (95% CI 33-63%) to prevent symptomatic infection. Three doses of vaccine exhibited modest but significant protection against infection and symptomatic infection.

conclusionsThis study recommends surveilling SARS-CoV-2 infections and variants, vaccinating at-risk populations, and developing new vaccines.
