Missed opportunities for improving practice performance in adult immunizations: a meta-narrative review of the literature.
Review in BMC family practice, 2017. 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
backgroundWe sought to characterize how the term "missed opportunities" is reported in the literature in the context of immunization rates and to assess how missed opportunities can be operationalized.
methodsPeer-reviewed literature searches were conducted in April - May, 2015, to answer: "What methods research studies used to operationalize missed opportunities to vaccinate?" A meta-narrative review methodology was used.
resultsSeven studies met inclusion criteria. The methodologies for quantifying missed opportunities fell into two general categories based on: 1. the number of healthcare encounters per patient without appropriate vaccination services, defined as a number of visits per patient with no vaccination related services (Missed opportunities per patient); 2. vaccination status as "non-vaccinated" among a group of patients who had a healthcare encounter where the vaccination should/could have had happened (Missed opportunities per population).
conclusionsOur study provided an initial overview of the methods reported in the literature, and concluded that the quantifiable missed opportunity holds promise as a measurable outcome (variable) for research and quality improvement projects aimed to increase adult immunization recommendation and uptake in primary care.
