1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 objective of the study was to evaluate influenza vaccination coverage in Austria in the season of 2006/07 and to understand motivations and barriers. Two-thousand telephone interviews with individuals over 15 years of age were conducted. The overall influenza vaccination coverage rate was 17.8%. In the elderly (>65 years) the rate was 32.1%, and the adjusted odds ratio of being vaccinated, compared to those not belonging to a high-risk group, was 3.8. Chronically ill persons and health care workers had adjusted odds ratios of 2.6 and 1.5, respectively, while chronically ill elderly persons had an odds ratio of vaccination of 7.0. Minimizing the risk of contracting influenza was the most frequent reason for getting vaccinated (35.2%), and a recommendation by the family doctor was perceived as the major encouraging factor for vaccination (46.4%). The main reason for not getting vaccinated was indifference (>50%). Vaccination coverage in Austria in 2006/07 was low and far behind WHO objectives.
