Seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness among children, 2010-2012.
Article in Influenza and other respiratory viruses, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 annual differences in the seasonal influenza vaccine and the circulating strains make it necessary to assess influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) yearly. We assessed the effectiveness of the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 influenza seasons among children in Guangzhou, China.
methodsWe conducted a 1:2 matched case-control study based on date of birth (±7 days), gender, and area of residence. The influenza cases from surveillance sites in Guangzhou were laboratory-confirmed during the 2010-2012 seasons. The controls were randomly selected from children aged 6-59 months in the Children's Expanded Programmed Immunization Administrative Computerized System. The influenza vaccination information for both cases and controls was retrieved from this system.
resultsWe analyzed the vaccination information for 1255 influenza cases and 2510 matched controls in 2 influenza seasons in Guangzhou, China. We found that the VE for vaccination during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons of virus circulation was 73·2% (95% confidence interval (CI), 52·2-85·0%) and 52·9% (95% CI, 42·1-61·7%), respectively. The VE decreased from 68·9% (95% CI, 57·5-77·2%) in the period between January and March to 48·4% (95% CI, 33·8-59·7%) in the period between April and June.
conclusionsThis post-licensing study of VE found moderate protection against influenza for vaccinated children aged 6-59 months. Although the influenza vaccine strains for the 2010-2011 and the 2011-2012 seasons were the same, our study indicated that annual vaccination is recommended even for those who received the vaccine during the previous season.
