Low Pneumococcal Vaccination among Patients with Psoriasis in Germany: Results from Vac-Pso.
Article in Vaccines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
While suboptimal pneumococcal vaccination rates have been reported in immunosuppressed patients with rheumatic diseases, data for patients with psoriasis (PsO) or atopic dermatitis (AD) are scarce. Pneumococcal vaccination in Germany is recommended in patients with certain comorbidities, immunosuppression, and/or aged 60 years or above. The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to investigate the pneumococcal vaccination rate in patients with PsO compared to patients with AD and to evaluate patient perceptions. All patients completed a questionnaire on vaccination status and perceptions, patient and disease characteristics, as well as comorbidity. Medical records and vaccination certificates were reviewed. Over the whole cohort (n = 327 PsO (41.9% female), n = 98 AD (42.9% female)), 83.8% and 42.9% of PsO and AD patients, respectively, had an indication for pneumococcal vaccination due to immunosuppressive treatment. The pneumococcal vaccination rate was 14.4% and 10.2% in PsO and AD patients, respectively. The vaccination rate depended significantly on age, working status and presence of psoriatic arthritis. The most common reason for nonvaccination was lacking recommendation by physicians. Higher awareness, particularly for vaccination indication due to immunosuppression among dermatologists, general physicians, and patients, is warranted.
