[Influenza vaccination coverages and related factors among splenectomy patients from a health sector in Zaragoza (Spain)].

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
objectiveInfluenza vaccination coverage in risk groups has been put forward as a healthcare quality indicator. Our objective was to determine the vaccination rate in splenectomized patients.
methodsWe carried out a cross-sectional study that included splenectomized patients in the Zaragoza III Sector from January 2012 to December 2016. The patients were identified through the database of the Clinical Documentation and File Management Services of the Sector Hospital under code 41.5 of the ICD-9. The variables (sociodemographic and surgical variables, and having received information and advice regarding vaccination when they were admitted to the Immunization Unit) were obtained after a review of the patients' records in the Specialized and Primary Care Services. The association with being vaccinated during the campaign corresponding to the surgery date was studied with bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression model.
results81 patients were analyzed; 60.5% were men, with an average age of 56.3 years. Neoplasms and hematological diseases were the most common motives for surgery (64.2%). The vaccination rate was 58%. Having been advised to vaccinate (OR=6.53; 95%CI=1.88-22.69) and having been vaccinated in the previous season (OR=4.79; 95%CI= 1.48-15.57) were associated with vaccination.
conclusionsThe coverage rate ranks in an intermediate position when compared with other countries. It is necessary to improve the referral system of these patients to the Immunization Unit because the information obtained by this service leads to better results.
