Patient experiences with influenza immunizations administered by pharmacists.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Influenza vaccination is the most effective way to reduce influenza infection and related complications. Unfortunately, vaccination coverage remains suboptimal. The addition of pharmacists as immunizers may assist in improving vaccine coverage. The experiences of patients who have received influenza vaccines from pharmacists is an important consideration for jurisdictions considering the addition of pharmacists as immunizers. We describe the reported experiences of recipients of influenza vaccinations by pharmacists in the community pharmacy setting in Nova Scotia, Canada. During the 2013-2014 influenza season, a paper-based quality assurance questionnaire was provided to interested vaccine recipients to assess their previous vaccination experiences and current experience at the pharmacy. More than 6,500 vaccine recipients completed questionnaires. The majority of respondents cited convenience as a main reason for receiving the vaccine in the pharmacy, with 50% indicating the service was better in the pharmacy and another 40% that the service was as good as elsewhere. Respondents also reported a positive environment in the pharmacy (e.g., less stressful, less exposure to sick people) as well as professionalism and knowledge of the pharmacists. Areas for improvement identified included better communication around the paperwork required (e.g., consent forms) and the wait time post-vaccination. This evaluation demonstrated that people who chose to be vaccinated by community pharmacists reported positive experiences and convenience was the primary factor for selecting a pharmacy as the site for vaccination.
