Primary outcome | |
In the register 1. Incidence of adverse reactions within 28 days after the booster dose [Time Frame: Within 28 days the booster dose]. 2. GMT of neutralizing antibodies against live SARS-CoV-2 virus on day 28 after the booster dose [Time Frame: On day 28 after the booster dose]. | |
In the report 1. Incidence of adverse reactions occurring within 28 days after the fourth dose. 2. Geometric mean titres (GMTs) for neutralizing antibodies against the live SARS-CoV-2 virus at day 28. | |

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 pre-print article, the study registry was used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Neither protocol, statistical analysis plan nor supplementary appendices were available at the time of extraction. Preliminary analysis, follow-up visits were scheduled up to 6 months after 2nd booster; follow-up after 28 days reported here. The target sample size specified in the registry was achieved. Some outcomes are only reported in figures wihtout complete numbers (e.g., Ab GMT). There is no change from the trial registration in the interventions and control treatments. Report is unclear regarding crossover: "The analysis was based on the modified full-analysis cohort, with some participants reclassified into the correct groups according to the vaccines that they received". This trial was updated on Mars 28th, 2023 after publication of the study report. |
