[Vaccinations from the pulmonologist's point of view].
Review in Der Internist, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 best strategy for prevention of acute respiratory tract infections is primary prophylaxis against diseases preventable by vaccination. From the pulmonologist's point of view, vaccinations against pneumococci, influenza A and B viruses and Bordetella pertussis are of particular clinical relevance.
objectivesThis review article discusses the disease burden of these pathogens and the recommendations for immunization in adults. CURRENT DATA: For immunization against pneumococci a less immunogenic but broad-spectrum 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) and a highly immunogenic 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) with a more narrow-spectrum are approved. A sequential vaccination with PCV13 followed by PPV23 is a new option in adults. In the US this vaccination strategy is recommended as routine vaccination for all adults over 65. In Germany sequential pneumococcal vaccination is proposed only in special indications such as patients with asplenia. Trivalent and quadrivalent split-virus vaccines are the standard vaccines against seasonal influenza in adults. The Standing Committee on Vaccinations (STIKO) recommends a yearly vaccination as standard over 60 and in indications for special risk groups (e.g. infants with underlying diseases, immunocompromised patients, chronically ill patients and pregnant women). For the primary prophylaxis of pertussis only an acellular vaccine is available. Neither vaccination nor a previous infection provide lifelong immunity; therefore, the STIKO recommends an additional booster vaccine for all adults.
conclusionVaccination against pneumococci, influenza A and B viruses as well as Bordetella pertussis are recommended as standard and in special indications for adults by the STIKO at the Robert Koch Institute. For selection of the various vaccines individual factors such as age, immune status, comorbidities and pregnancy have to be considered.
