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

Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying host immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination remains essential, particularly in populations with a high prevalence of obesity. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with vaccine-induced humoral immunity in a cohort from northeastern Mexico and discuss the findings within a structural immunology framework of spike antigenicity and antibody-epitope interactions. A total of 138 adults were recruited in Reynosa and Matamoros (June 2021-June 2022) and categorized as healthy weight, overweight, or obese according to BMI criteria. Serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG was assessed using an ELISA-based assay, and differences across BMI groups were tested using the Kruskal-Wallis approach. Among all participants, 33.3% were classified as obese and 99.3% (137/138) were seropositive for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG. No significant differences in IgG levels were detected between BMI categories (
