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

Neutralizing antibodies (NABs) play a critical role in assessing the immune response elicited by vaccines, providing insight into their protective efficacy. Despite their importance, there is a notable gap in research directly comparing NAB levels among individuals vaccinated with different vaccines, across diverse ethnicities, and between genders. The study aimed to compare NAB levels across variables such as vaccination status, vaccine type, age, gender, and ethnicity. The NAB levels among different study groups were measured using the Finecare RBD Antibody Test and the cPass kit (ELISA). The data was analyzed statistically using SPSS version 27. A total of 172 study subjects were analyzed. The mean age of participants was 45.03 ± 16.72 years, with 50.9% male and 77.3% of Malay ethnicity. Median NAB levels, assessed by both assays, were highest in females, vaccinated healthy participants, and those who received the Pfizer vaccine. Age-group comparisons revealed variations in median NAB levels across studied groups. Participants aged 10-25 years in the vaccinated healthy (VH) group exhibited the highest median antibody levels; on the other hand, the 26-45 year age group showed the highest median levels in the breakthrough infection (BI) and certain non-vaccinated categories. Ethnic group comparisons highlighted that Malays consistently had the highest median NAB levels. Significant differences in antibody levels were found across vaccination status, ethnicity, and vaccine type (
