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

backgroundHemodialysis patients have a reduced response to vaccinations because of uremia-related immune dysfunction. To increase the immunogenicity of vaccines, antigens can be formulated with adjuvants. The new tocopherol-containing adjuvant system AS03(A) has not been tested yet in patients with end-stage renal disease. STUDY

designNonrandomized trial. SETTING &

participants291 hemodialysis patients from 3 dialysis units co-operating with the Department of Nephrology at the University Hospital Heidelberg, Germany: 169 patients were vaccinated using either 1 (64 patients) or 2 doses (105 patients); 123 patients refused the vaccination and served as controls.

interventionIntramuscular immunization with 3.75 μg of an inactivated split-virion A/California/7/2009 H1N1v pandemic vaccine adjuvanted with AS03(A) in a single- or double-dose regimen. OUTCOMES: A pandemic influenza A immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) response >11 AU (arbitrary units) was defined as a positive response. MEASUREMENTS: Quantitative antibody testing using the pandemic influenza A IgG ELISA. Antibody titers were tested 3 months after vaccination and compared with nonimmunized dialysis patients.

resultsAfter vaccination against 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1), 41 of 64 (64.1%) patients with 1 vaccination and 93 of 105 (88.6%) with 2 vaccinations showed a protective immune response compared with 43 of 123 (34.9%) unvaccinated patients (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis confirmed vaccination dose as an independent factor for response to pandemic H1N1 vaccination. No episode of pandemic H1N1 illness occurred in any group within the study period of 6 months after vaccination. No serious adverse events occurred, and local symptoms ranged from mild to moderate in 143 of 169 (84.6%) patients. LIMITATIONS: Nonrandomized assignment; use of nontreated patients as controls; no comparison to nonadjuvanted vaccines; dose variation in the intervention group.

conclusionsPandemic H1N1 vaccine adjuvanted with AS03(A) is immunogenic, effective, and safe in hemodialysis patients.
