Comparison of antibody responses before and after booster doses with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines in healthcare workers in Thailand.
Article in Vaccine: X, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread rapidly worldwide, not only causing significant morbidity and mortality but also dramatically increasing health care spending. To manage this in Thailand, healthcare workers first received two doses of the CoronaVac vaccine followed by a booster vaccine with either BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech; PZ) or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (Oxford-AstraZeneca; AZ). Given that the difference in anti-SARS-CoV-2 levels following vaccination may vary depending on the vaccine and on demographic characteristics, we measured the antibody response after the second CoronaVac dose and after the booster with either the PZ or AZ vaccine. Our results in 473 healthcare workers show that the variation in antibody response to the full CoronaVac dose depends on demographic characteristics such as age, gender, body mass index, and underlying disease. After receiving a booster dose, anti-SARS-CoV-2 levels were significantly higher in participants who received the PZ vaccine than in people who received the AZ vaccine. Overall, however, receiving a booster dose of either the PZ or AZ vaccine promoted strong antibody responses, even in the old and those with obesity or diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, our results support the use of a booster vaccination program after full vaccination with the CoronaVac vaccine. This approach effectively enhances immunity against SARS-CoV-2, especially in clinically vulnerable groups and healthcare workers.
