Patient Portal Reminders for Pediatric Influenza Vaccinations: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06657573 (AI-enabled Vaccine Chatbot for Improving Influenza Vaccination Uptake in Children), which is not on this map. Cited by 9 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.

Abstract
objectivesIn a large health system, we evaluated the effectiveness of electronic health record patient portal reminders in increasing pediatric influenza vaccination rates.
methodsWe conducted an intention-to-treat randomized clinical trial of 22 046 children from 6 months to <18 years of age in 53 primary care practices. Patients (or parent and/or proxies) who were active portal users were randomly assigned to receive reminder messages framed as gains or losses or no messages. They were separately randomly assigned to receive a precommitment message before the influenza season. The primary outcome was receipt of ≥1 seasonal influenza vaccinations. Additionally, children 6 months to <3 years of age due for a second influenza vaccine were randomly assigned to receive a reminder or no reminder for the second vaccination.
resultsFirst-dose influenza vaccination rates were 56.9% in the control group, 58.0% in the loss-frame reminders group (
conclusionsPatient portal reminders for influenza vaccines in children, whether framed as gains or losses, did not increase first-dose influenza vaccination rates but were highly effective for the second dose of the vaccine.
