Associations Between Health Care Professional Communication Practices and Influenza Vaccination of Hospitalized Children.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundHealth care professionals (HCPs) (eg, nurses, doctors) play a key role in vaccine uptake. Few studies describe HCP influenza vaccine communication with parents of hospitalized children.
methodsThis study included English- and Spanish-speaking parents of influenza vaccine-eligible children hospitalized at a tertiary care pediatric hospital between October 2018 and May 2019. A survey was completed online or via telephone 2 to 15 weeks (median 4 weeks) after discharge. It examined parental intent to vaccinate their child during hospitalization and parent-reported inpatient HCP communication practices (eg, vaccine recommendation strength, format for initiating the recommendation). Multivariable logistic regression examined the associations between HCP communication practices and influenza vaccination during hospitalization, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and visit characteristics.
resultsParents (n = 194; 63.0% response rate) were mostly white (66.8%) and English-speaking (97.4%). Their children were primarily 5 through 17 years (67.0%) with chronic disease (68.6%); 24.7% were vaccinated before discharge. Most parents initially had no plan (55.6%) or planned to decline (31.1%) influenza vaccine for their child during hospitalization. Of these parents, 22.2% decided to accept the vaccine, 66.7% citing a HCP conversation as the main reason for changing their mind. Overall, 75.3% recalled a HCP conversation about influenza vaccination. Of these parents, 61.0% reported a HCP recommendation (53.8% described it as "very strong"; 11.1% noted a presumptive initiation format). A parent-reported HCP conversation (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 5.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.64-16.68) and recommendation (AOR 5.59, 95% CI 2.01-15.51) were associated with influenza vaccination during hospitalization.
conclusionThis study highlights the importance of discussing and recommending influenza vaccination with parents of hospitalized children.
