Observational study in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

objectivesTo describe the trend in the frequency of adverse events (AE) records associated to pertussis component vaccines between January 1 MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective observational study including all AEFI records of DTP (either aP or wP)-containing vaccines in the described sample. A descriptive analysis was performed according to vaccine type and AEFI, using MedDRA terminology.

resultsThe total number of AEFI reports was 1,697: 815 corresponding to wP vaccines, 417 to aP vaccines, and 465 with unknown type. The reporting rates for the years 2015 to 2020 were 40.1, 56.2, 37.1, 24.7, 19.1, and 12.2 per 100,000 doses administered, respectively. The most reported AEFI were injection site erythema (42.9%), pyrexia (35.7%), and pain at the injection site (29.2%). Among all cases, 5.8% were SAEs (n = 98), 5.9% were SAEs for wP vaccines (n = 48) and 5.3% were for aP vaccines (n = 22). DISCUSSION: A significant decrease in AEFI reports was observed as of 2018, the year that the DTaP-IPV-HepB-Hib was introduced in the NIP.
