Primary outcome | |
In the register 1) Safety indexes of adverse reactions [ Time Frame: From Day 0 to Day 28 after each dose ] Incidence of adverse reactions occured from Day 0 to Day 28 after each dose 2) Immunogenicity indexes of neutralizing-antibody seroconversion rates [ Time Frame: The 14th day /the 28th day after two doses of vaccination ] The seroconversion rate of neutralizing antibodies 14 days (emergency schedule)/28 days (routine schedule) after the two-dose vaccination. | |
In the report 1) Any adverse reactions within 28 days after dose three 2) geometric mean titres (GMTs), geometric mean increases (GMIs), and seropositivity of neutralising antibodies to infectious SARS-CoV-2 28 days after the third dose | |

Protocol Yes. In English Statistical plan Yes Data-sharing stated:
Yes, The data will be available immediately after publication and finalisation of the completed clinical study report for at least 1 year. |
Risk of bias Overall The overall risk of bias reported in the table corresponds to the highest risk of bias for the outcomes assessed for the systematic review |
Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published article, two study registries, protocols, statistical analysis plans and supplementary data were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The article reports the results of two studies with patients 18-59 in one study and patients 60 and over in the other. The article presented interim analyses for a study with ongoing recruitment and follow-up and reports on booster vaccines in cohorts originally included in two primary schedule trials, and thus the outcomes reported as primary in the article differ slightly from the original primary outcomes. This study was updated on November 10th 2022 after publication of results at a longer follow up. |
