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

objectivesTo investigate community priority and determinants of pandemic influenza vaccine acceptance in Pune, India. Community willingness to accept vaccines is often neglected in pandemic preparedness. Despite an acknowledged need, few such studies have been done in lower income countries.

methodsA cross-sectional, mixed-methods study used semi-structured explanatory model interviews to assess anticipated acceptance of nasal and injectable vaccines at different prices among 436 urban and rural residents. Logistic regression models identified sociocultural determinants of vaccine acceptance.

resultsOver 93 % anticipated acceptance at no-cost; 87.8 % for INR 150 nasal vaccine; 74.1 % for INR 500 and 61.7 % for INR 1000 injectable vaccines. Some respondents preferred low-cost over free vaccines. Illness-related concerns about social isolation, contaminants identified as perceived causes, private-hospital or traditional-healer help seeking, and income were positively associated with anticipated acceptance. Humoral imbalances as perceived cause, home remedies for help-seeking and age were negatively associated.

conclusionsHigh acceptability of pandemic influenza vaccines indicates good prospects for mass vaccination. It appeared that confidence was higher in the vaccines than in the health systems delivering them. Vaccination programmes should consider sociocultural determinants influencing vaccine acceptance.
