Trial report in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05815498 (A Randomized, Observer-Blind, Active-Controlled Phase 3 Study to Investigate the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Relative Vaccine Efficacy of mRNA-1283 Compared With mRNA-1273 in Participants Aged ≥12 Years for the Prevention of COVID-19), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) are strongly inversely associated with COVID-19 risk and have correlated with vaccine efficacy across multiple clinical trials conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. As SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve in the endemic era, it is important to determine whether nAb levels remain a valid statistical correlate of protection and potential surrogate endpoints for emerging variants. The next-generation COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA-1283, has recently received regulatory approval worldwide. In the Phase 3 NextCOVE trial (NCT05815498), which enrolled more than 10,000 participants aged ≥12 y, mRNA-1283 (10 µg; bivalent ancestral plus Omicron BA.4/BA.5) met the non-inferiority criterion for relative vaccine efficacy (rVE) versus mRNA-1273 (50 µg; bivalent) and elicited higher nAb responses. In this correlate analysis of the NextCOVE trial, we evaluated Day 29 nAbs against ancestral D614G, BA.4/BA.5, and XBB.1.5 variants as correlates of risk (CoRs) and correlates of protection (CoPs) for COVID-19 after vaccination with mRNA-1283 or mRNA-1273. Across multiple statistical frameworks, higher Day 29 nAb levels were consistently associated with lower COVID-19 risk and higher estimated rVE. The estimated hazard ratios per 10-fold increase in Day 29 nAbs against D614G, BA.4/BA.5, and XBB.1.5 were 0.70 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.48-1.02;
