Neutralizing antibody test supports booster strategy for young individuals after SARS-CoV-2 Omicron breakthrough.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, since its initial detection, has rapidly spread across the globe, becoming the dominant strain. It is important to study the immune response of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant due to its remarkable ability to escape the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. The surge in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infections among most Chinese residents by the end of 2022 provides a unique opportunity to understand immune system's response to Omicron in populations with limited exposure to prior SARS-CoV-2 variants.
methodsWe tested the levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM specific to the prototype SARS-CoV-2 RBD (receptor-binding domain) in blood samples from 636 individuals by chemical luminescence assay, ELISA and pseudovirus-based neutralization assay.
resultsInoculation with inactivated prototype SARS-CoV-2 vaccines or recombinant protein vaccines showed higher IgG levels after infection than the unvaccinated individuals. Moreover, the age resulted in different IgG levels after the Omicron infection as IgG level of the patients aged > 60 years was lower than that of patients aged < 60 years. This indicates that the IgG induced by SARS-CoV-2 Omicron breakthrough infection was different between old and young individuals. We found that a booster dose of the prototype SARS-CoV-2 vaccine led to a significant increase in the neutralizing immune response against the prototype SARS-CoV-2 and helped induce neutralizing antibodies against BA.5 and BF.7 variants after an Omicron breakthrough infection in young individuals, which is different from a previous report on older people.
conclusionsThese data suggest that the prototype SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccination helps induce high levels of neutralizing antibodies against Omicron BA.5 and BF.7 variants after Omicron breakthrough infection in young individuals.
