XBB.1.5 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine protection against inpatient or emergency department visits among adults infected with SARS-CoV-2 JN.1 and XBB-lineage variants.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
As part of a multi-state viral genomic surveillance program, we conducted a case-only analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of XBB.1.5-adapated mRNA vaccines in preventing severe illness among individuals with medically attended SARS-CoV-2 infection. We compared prior receipt of an XBB.1.5-adapted mRNA vaccine between SARS-CoV-2-infected adults with inpatient or emergency department (ED) visits (as a proxy for severe illness) vs those with outpatient visits (as a proxy for mild illness). Among 6,551 patients between September 2023 and January 2024, 6.1% with inpatient or ED visits vs 12.0% with outpatient visits had received XBB.1.5 vaccination (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-0.53). This protective association was weaker among JN.1 (aOR=0.62; 95% CI: 0.40-0.96) vs XBB-lineage (aOR=0.28; 95% CI: 0.18-0.43) variant infections (interaction, p=0.003). XBB.1.5 vaccines protect against severe illness, but protection may be weaker against JN.1 vs XBB-lineage variants. This study highlights the need for COVID-19 vaccines to be routinely updated to align with circulating strains and for individuals to stay up to date with recommended vaccines.
