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

backgroundThe present study aimed to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of the 2012/2013 seasonal influenza vaccine (Optaflu(®)) after the World Health Organization recommended two new strains for the composition.

resultsTwenty-one days post-vaccination geometric mean titers (GMTs) against A(H1N1), A(H3N2) and the B strain were 528, 935, and 201 for adults and 272, 681, and 101 for elderly subjects, respectively. The proportion of subjects with a HI titer of ≥ 40 against the three strains A(H1N1), A(H3N2) and B was 98%, 100%, and 98% in adults and 100%, 100%, and 85% in elderly subjects, respectively. Optaflu(®) met the CHMP criteria of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CPMP/BWP/214/96). Pre-vaccination titers indicated seroprotection against the A(H1N1), the A(H3N2) and the B strain in 56%, 86%, and 54% of the adults and in 61%, 85%, and 40% of the elderly with highest titers against the A(H3N2) strain. In the safety analysis injection site pain (37%) and myalgia (31%) were the most common local and systemic reactions. No serious adverse events were recorded.

conclusionThe 2012/2013 seasonal influenza vaccine Optaflu(®) showed good immunogenicity and an acceptable safety profile in both adults and elderly.

methodsIn this trial, 126 subjects (63 adults ≥18 to ≤60 y, 63 elderly ≥61 y) were vaccinated with a single dose Optaflu(®) containing each of the three virus strains recommended for the 2012/2013 season (A/California/7/2009(H1N1)-like strain, A/Victoria/361/2011(H3N2)-like strain, and B/Wisconsin/1/2010-like strain). Immunogenicity was assessed by hemagglutinin inhibition (HI) and single radial hemolysis (SRH) assays on day 22, the safety profile was investigated throughout the whole study period.
