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
To assess the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 booster dose on the immune response against COVID-19, we conducted a cross-sectional study in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco. The study included 2,802 participants from 16 provinces, all of whom had received three doses of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. IgG antibodies targeting the S1 RBD subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were quantified using the SARS-CoV-2 IgG II Quant assay and measured on the Abbott Architect i2000SR instrument. Adjusted seroprevalence of anti-RBD antibodies showed that participants who received two doses of ChAdOx1-S followed by a BBIBP-CorV booster had a seroprevalence rate of 99.68% (95% CI: 99.39-99.83%), while those who received a BNT162b2 booster had a rate of 99.67% (95% CI: 99.38-99.82%). Both rates were higher than those observed with other vaccination regimens. The evaluation of booster dose effects revealed significant differences in anti-RBD antibody levels across various vaccination regimens: two doses of BBIBP-CorV compared to three doses of BBIBP-CorV (P < 0.0001), two doses of BNT162b2 versus three doses of BNT162b2 (P = 0.023), two doses of ChAdOx1-S versus two doses of ChAdOx1-S with a BNT162b2 booster (P = 0.023), and two doses of BBIBP-CorV versus two doses of BBIBP-CorV with a BNT162b2 booster (P < 0.0001). However, no significant difference was found between two doses of ChAdOx1-S and three doses of ChAdOx1-S (P = 0.23). Participants with prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure who received two doses of ChAdOx1-S followed by either a BBIBP-CorV or BNT162b2 booster showed higher levels of anti-RBD IgG antibodies (P = 0.042 and P = 0.001, respectively). Interestingly, individuals with comorbidities who received the BNT162b2 booster dose exhibited a significantly stronger humoral response (P < 0.05). In conclusion, our findings highlight the effectiveness of the BNT162b2 booster dose in eliciting a strong immune response. The high seroprevalence rates achieved with both BNT162b2 and BBIBP-CorV boosters reflect the country's robust vaccination strategy.
