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

objectivesImpact of frailty towards immunogenicity and reactogenicity of BNT162b2 boosters administered via intramuscular or intradermal routes in a Thai geriatric population

designProspective, randomized, open-labeled.

settingSiriraj Hospital, Thailand.

participantsGeriatric adults aged ≥65 years.

intervention10 μg intradermal or 30 μg intramuscular BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech). MEASUREMENTS: Anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain IgG, neutralizing antibodies (NAb), and interferon-gamma producing cells against Wuhan and Omicron BA.4/5. Analyses were stratified based on participants' Clinical Frailty Scale.

resultsA total of 139 participants were included in the analysis. Two-four weeks post-booster administration, NAb titers against Wuhan but not Omicron BA.4/5 were significantly lower among frail participants than non-frail participants who received intramuscular administration. Spike-specific T cell responses were similar for frail and non-frail participants, regardless of administration route. Frail participants who received intradermal BNT162b2 had fewer local adverse events (AEs), but higher systemic AEs than non-frail participants.

conclusionSimilar immune responses across vaccine routes warrants further evaluation of intradermal BNT162b2 in frail geriatric populations. Frail participants may be more sensitive to reporting systemic AEs. REGISTRATION OF CLINICAL TRIALS: The parent study was registered under the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20220112002).
