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

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause severe disease in infants and older adults. Various vaccine candidates are in development and may become authorized for use in Canada within the next 2-5 years. The Public Health Agency of Canada sought to enhance preparedness for RSV vaccine and passive immunization candidates by organizing an expert retreat to identify knowledge gaps in surveillance and research and development in the context of provincial and territorial RSV public health priorities. We determined that RSV candidate vaccines in development directly address four out of five identified public health priorities, and identified remaining data gaps around vaccine efficacy and effectiveness. We determined that limited or sufficient surveillance data is available to support decision-making for four out of five RSV public health priorities and identified data gaps for several key populations: (i) for RSV cases under 17 years of age, gaps remain for denominator data to calculate incidence and data on medically attended outpatient visits; (ii) for RSV cases in Indigenous and remote communities, gaps remain for data on incidence, prevalence, specific risk factors, feasibility and acceptability; and (iii) for RSV cases in older adults, gaps remain for data on incidence. This process demonstrated the feasibility of, and stakeholder support for, gap analyses in surveillance data to support decisions about prospective vaccines and immune products.
