Factors Affecting Influenza Vaccination Rates among Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Rize, Turkey.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesAcute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are major components of COPD-related socioeconomic burden. Upper or lower respiratory tract infections, usually caused by respiratory viruses or bacteria, are common causes of AECOPD. Vaccination aganist influenza virus and MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with COPD were recruited from the outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital between December 2014 and January 2015. Demographic data, vaccination status, and COPD-related hospital admissions triggered by tracheobronchial infections were evaluated.
resultsIn total, 108 patients were enrolled; 102 (94%) subjects were male, and 6 (6%) subjects were female; the mean age was 65.6 years. The number of patients who had received pneumococcal and influenza vaccinations were 8 (0.07%) and 36 (33.3%), respectively. There was no significant correlation between the level of education and vaccination status. No significant difference was found between two groups in terms of exacerbation frequency, hospitalization rates, mMRC scores, and COPD stages.
conclusionMore efforts by both physicians and patients are needed to reach the ideal rates of vaccination for COPD.
