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

objectiveThe aim of this paper is to describe the results obtained from the application of a specific local deprivation index, to general and cause-specific mortality and influenza vaccination coverage among elderly people in the municipality of Florence.

methodsGeneral and cause-specific mortality data (2009-2013) and influenza vaccination coverage data (2015/16 and 2016/17) were collected for subjects aged ≥ 65 years residing in the municipality of Florence (Tuscany), at the 2011 Census section level. A Socio-Economic and Health Deprivation Index (SEHDI) was constructed and validated by means of socio-economic indicators and mortality ratios.

resultsHalf of the population of Florence belonged to the medium deprivation group; about 25% fell into the two most deprived groups, and the remaining 25% were deemed to be wealthy. Elderly people mostly belonged to the high deprivation group. All-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality (cancer and respiratory diseases) reached their highest values in the high deprivation group. Influenza vaccination coverage (VC) was 54.7% in the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, combined. VC showed a linear rising trend as deprivation increased and appeared to be correlated with different factors in the different deprivation groups.

conclusionsAs socio-economic deprivation plays an important role in health choices, application of the SEHDI enables us to identify the characteristics of the main sub-groups of the population with low adherence to influenza vaccination. The results of the present study should be communicated to General Practitioners, in order to help them to promote influenza vaccination among their patients.
