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

Background: Age-related immunosenescence may impair the immune response to vaccination in older adults. Adjuvanted influenza vaccines are designed to overcome immune senescence in older adults. This study estimated the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of MF59-adjuvanted trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV3) vs egg-derived quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4e) and high-dose trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (HD-IIV3) in preventing influenza-related medical encounters in the 2019-2020 US season. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used electronic medical records linked to pharmacy and medical claims data. The study population included adults age ≥65 years with a record of aIIV3, IIV4e, or HD-IIV3 vaccination. A doubly robust inverse probability of treatment weighting model was used to derive adjusted odds ratios (ORs). rVE was calculated by (1 - OR Results: Subjects received aIIV3 (n = 936 508), IIV3e (n = 651 034), and HD-IIV3 (n = 1 813 819), and influenza-related medical encounters were recorded in 0.5%, 0.9%, and 0.7% of each cohort, respectively. Overall, the rVE of aIIV3 was 27.5% (95% CI, 24.4% to 30.5%) vs IIV4e and 13.9% (95% CI, 10.7% to 17.0%) vs HD-IIV3. aIIV3 had a more favorable rVE in inpatient and outpatient settings. Findings remained consistent across age subgroups and during alternative seasonal dates. Conclusions: Adults age ≥65 years vaccinated with aIIV3 had fewer influenza-related medical encounters compared with IIV4e or HD-IIV3 during the 2019-2020 US influenza season.
