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

objectiveDespite the efforts in vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), breakthrough infections occur and the need for hospitalization continues. We aimed to determine the relationship between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination and the severity of COVID-19 and mortality among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2021 and February 2022 in a university hos- pital in Turkey. Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (both in clinics and in intensive care units), ≥18 years old, and who had no previous COVID-19 were included in the study. The demographic characteristics, clinical data, vaccination status, and outcome of the patients were analyzed retrospectively and the relationship between vaccination status and mortality was determined statistically.

resultsOf the 674 patients, 180 (26.7%) had no vaccination, 282 (41.8%) had incomplete vaccination, and 212 (31.5%) were fully vaccinated according to the updated vaccination recommendations. While 44.0% of the patients were fully vaccinated before the occur- rence of omicron variant, 15.9% of the patients were fully vaccinated during the wave of the omicron variant. The patients with no vaccination were younger and had fewer comorbidities. The overall mortality was 31.8%. Under 50 years old, all the patients with fully vaccination survived and the patients with no vaccination or incomplete vaccination had higher (10.1%) mortality. During the omicron period, mortality was lower in fully vaccinated pateints.

conclusionImmunization with and booster doses of BNT162b2 should be encouraged to protect both healthy and vulnerable populations.
