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 virus A(H1N1)pdm09 first appeared in Israel in late April 2009, disappeared in mid-March 2010, and reappeared in late October 2010. Symptoms were mostly mild without need for medical care.

objectivesTo provide targets for future pandemic preparedness and response by evaluating the dynamics and cumulative incidence of A(H1N1)pdm09 infection, the virus-specific seroprevalence (HI antibody titer >1:40) at the height of the pandemic, during its decline and thereafter.

methodsA cross-sectional seroepidemiological study was conducted on 6911 serum samples collected before, during, and after the pandemic.

resultsCumulative incidence of infection derived from the differences between post- and pre-pandemic seroprevalence was 54.1%, 32.9%, 22.9%, 14.8%, and 6.3% in age-groups 0-9, 10-19, 20-49, 50-79, and ≥ 80 years, respectively, and 28.5% for all age-groups combined. Vaccination could have contributed at the most 4.6% to the post-pandemic population seroprevalence. High pre-pandemic immune response (47.4%) found in a cohort aged 15-18 year was strongly associated with birth years 1990-1993. Morbidity began to decline in mid-November 2009 at 32.8% population seroprevalence (45% in ages 0-19 year) and stopped in March 2010 at 43.4% population seroprevalence in February 2010 (70% in ages 0-19 year). Between February and September 2010, seroprevalence declined by 12.2% allowing virus recirculation from October 2010.

conclusionsOur study provides targets for controlling future influenza pandemics in Israel. Vaccination should focus on the younger age-groups (0-19 year) which played a key role in transmission of the A(H1N1)pdm09 due to lack of background immunity (ages 0-9 year) and high exposure rates (ages 10-19 year).
