Reply letter to "Immunogenicity and safety of a quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine compared with a standard-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in healthy people aged 60 years or older: a randomized Phase III trial".
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2022. 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
A recent study reported that the high-dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine provided superior immunogenicity and efficacy versus the standard-dose quadrivalent vaccine in the elderly. However, we need to view these results in terms of public health benefits as well. The Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) is an important tool to measure the benefit of a given vaccine. Further, NNV evaluates the benefits of a vaccine in preventing and controlling communicable diseases. Considering the target of vaccination and coverage of 75% not met in the elderly in Europe, it is important not to prioritize one vaccine over the other, but rather to increase the vaccine coverage with all the available vaccines.
