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

backgroundInfluenza infections are frequently implicated in the exacerbation of asthma. The aim of this study was to assess vaccination coverage among Spanish children and adults with asthma and to describe the factors associated(predictors) with vaccination, using data from the 2006 Spanish National Health Survey. PATIENTS AND

methodsSubjects were classified as asthma sufferers if they answered affirmatively to the question, "Has your doctor told you that you (or your child) currently suffer from asthma?" Influenza vaccination status was assessed via the question, "Did you (or your child) have a flu shot in the latest campaign?" The following were analyzed as possible predictors of influenza vaccination: sociodemographic variables;health-related and lifestyle variables; variables linked to the use of healthcare services.

resultsA total of 38,329 records of individuals aged over 6 months were analyzed, and of these, 2,337 were classified as asthmatics. Among asthmatics, overall influenza coverage was 32.6% (18.8% among children, and 38% among adults).Whereas the sole variable that predicted a higher coverage among children was parents' negative perception of their child's health, among adults positive predictors included older age, lower educational level, suffering from concomitant chronic disease, and non- or ex-smoker status.

conclusionsThe overall influenza vaccination coverage among subjects who suffer from asthma in Spain is very low. Special attention should be paid to children, younger adults, and smokers, since these subjects have the lowest adherence to vaccine recommendations. Strategies focused on health-care providers and patients must be urgently implemented to improve influenza vaccination coverage among asthma sufferers.
