Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published paper, the online trial registry and supplementary matrials were used for data extraction and assessment of bias. Protocol and statistical analysis plan were not available at the time of data extraction. This was an interim analysis of a phase 3 trial, recruitment is completed with 21,977 included participants; planned sample size was 40,000. The study is still ongoing and long term follow-up and general adverse events data are forthcoming. Results of per-protocol analyses were reported (from 21,862 participants). Immunogenicity results were reported for smaller subsets (from 58 to 456 participants) for logistical reasons and in line with the prospective registration. There were no major differences in population, procedures or interventions between the article and registry. |
