Seroprevalence of influenza A H1N1 (swine) infection in the human population in a cantonment.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVarious serosurveys and studies were conducted globally on pandemic influenza. H1N1 virus reported so far provides ample evidence of differing perspectives, regarding its epidemiology especially with regard to prevalence, populations groups, and behaviour related to vaccine acceptance. A multigroup, cross-sectional survey among 658 healthy subjects was carried out, in Pune among students, health-care workers (HCWs), and soldiers to assess the seroprevalence of pandemic influenza H1N1 virus and its associated factors.
methodsThe total sample size, based on forecasted prevalence of 33%, worked out to be 640. We studied 658 subjects including 103 students, 201 HCWs, and 354 serving soldiers. The sample for each group was selected from the respective study population by simple random sampling using a random number table. Haemagglutination inhibition test was carried out at the National Institute of Virology.
resultsThe overall seroprevalence of pandemic influenza H1N1 (2009) virus was found to be 46.5% (95% confidence interval 42.6-50.4) which was adjusted to 39.4% after excluding those vaccinated. The availability of vaccine for high-risk group such as HCWs did not find much favour with the HCWs who did not accept vaccine for various reasons. Whereas only one student was vaccinated, 21.4% of HCWs and 32.5% of soldiers were vaccinated.
conclusionBased on high seroprevalence of antibodies against H1N1 virus during pandemic, vaccination of general population is not recommended. However, high-risk groups and HCWs need to be protected with flu vaccine. There is a need to encourage HCWs for accepting vaccination.
