Influenza vaccination in oncology patients.
Article in Current infectious disease reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
It is well established that the immunological response to the seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine is attenuated in cancer patients. Furthermore, rates of seroprotection and seroconversion vary by malignancy type and are higher in patients with solid tumors, as compared either with those with hematologic malignancies or with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell recipients. In 2009, a novel influenza strain prompted development of new vaccines and evaluation of alternative dosing strategies in an attempt to increase the rates of seroconversion in immunocompromised patients, further complicating this issue. Recent literature has demonstrated that the use of myeloablative chemotherapy regimens and biologics is correlated with decreased immunogenicity and response to influenza vaccines. Much debate still exists as to the optimal timing of influenza vaccination. Delaying vaccination from 1 week following standard chemotherapy up to 6 months following rituximab is increasingly supported by studies in this heterogeneous population.
