An exploratory study to assess patterns of influenza- and pneumonia-related mortality among the Italian elderly.

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
Older adults are at disproportionately high risk of severe influenza-related outcomes and represent the main target of the annual influenza vaccination. The protective effect of seasonal influenza vaccination on the observed mortality indicators is controversial. In this ecological study, spatiotemporal patterns of pneumonia- and influenza-related mortality registered in the Italian elderly over seven (2011-2017) consecutive seasons were explored and the epidemiological association between the observed local pneumonia- and influenza-related mortality and influenza vaccination campaign features were modeled by using both fixed- and random-effects panel regression models. The descriptive spatiotemporal analysis showed a clear North-South gradient, where northern regions tended to report more pneumonia- and influenza-related deaths. After adjustment for potential confounders, it was found that each 1% increase in influenza vaccination coverage rate would be associated (
