Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published article and its supplement, the study registry was used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Neither protocol nor statistical analysis plan was available. Preliminary analysis with data cut-off date of February 23, 2022. Authors stated, "The study was closed to recruitment far before reaching the targeted sample size as the primary outcome was attained, TURKOVAC was granted EUA, and the vaccine was integrated as an option for community vaccine roll-out." The primary outcome in the article reflects that in the registry. There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. |
