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

backgroundDefining the protective thresholds against the severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-related corona virus-2 pandemic is a crucial challenge. To reduce the risks of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, various COVID-19 vaccines have been rapidly developed. AIM OF THE WORK: This study aimed to assess the impact of three common COVID-19 vaccine types; two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: (Pfizer/BioNTech's BNT162b2 and Moderna's mRNA-1273), one adenoviral vector vaccine: Oxford/AstraZeneca's ChAdOx1, and one inactivated vaccine (Sinovac Biotech/China's Sinovac) on the level of neutralizing antibodies, considering factors such as vaccine type, demographic characteristics, and hybrid immunity. We conducted a direct comparative analysis involving 300 healthcare workers, both with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection (B.1, C.36.3, and AY.32 (Delta) variants). Neutralizing antibodies levels were measured at baseline (before vaccination), before the second dose, and six months after the second dose.

resultsThe results showed a significant increase in neutralizing antibodies levels after complete vaccination with all vaccine types. Among healthcare workers, those vaccinated with mRNA vaccines (Moderna or Pfizer) exhibited the highest neutralizing antibodies titers, followed by AstraZeneca, and finally Sinovac with the lowest titer. On studying the effect of previous COVID-19 infection after vaccination, no significant difference in neutralizing antibodies levels was observed between healthcare workers vaccinated with mRNA or AstraZeneca vaccines, both with prior COVID-19 infection, following the first and six months after the second dose.

conclusionThese findings suggest that individuals with prior COVID-19 may only require a single dose of mRNA or AstraZeneca vaccines to achieve a similar level of immunization as those without prior COVID-19 who completed the vaccination program. HIGHLIGHTS: There is a significant increase in neutralizing antibodies levels after complete vaccination against COVID-19 Vaccination with mRNA vaccines exhibits the highest neutralizing antibodies titers. Vaccination with Sinovac exhibits the lowest neutralizing antibodies titers.
