Factors associated with humoral immune response in older adults who received egg-free influenza vaccine.
Observational study in Vaccine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundImmune responses to influenza vaccination tend to be lower among older, frequently vaccinated adults. Use of egg-free influenza vaccines is increasing, but limited data exist on factors associated with their immunogenicity in older adults.
methodsCommunity-dwelling older adults ≥ 56 years of age were enrolled in a prospective, observational study of immunogenicity of 2018-2019 influenza vaccine. Hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titers were measured pre-vaccination (Day 0) and four weeks after vaccination (Day 28) to calculate geometric mean titers, seropositivity (HAI titers ≥ 1:40), seroconversion (fourfold rise in HAI titer with post-vaccination titer ≥ 1:40) and geometric mean fold rise (GMFR). Linear regression models assessed the association of predictors of GMFR for each vaccine antigen.
resultsAmong 91 participants who received egg-free influenza vaccines, 84 (92.3 %) received quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV4, Flublok, Sanofi Pasteur), and 7 (7.7 %) received quadrivalent cell culture-based influenza vaccine (ccIIV4, Flucelvax, Seqirus). Pre-vaccination seropositivity was 52.8 % for A(H1N1), 94.5 % for A(H3N2), 61.5 % for B/Colorado and 48.4 % for B/Phuket. Seroconversion by antigen ranged from 16.5 % for A(H1N1) and B/Colorado to 37.4 % for A(H3N2); 40 participants failed to seroconvert to any antigen. Factors independently associated with higher GMFR in multivariable models included lower pre-vaccination HAI antibody titer for A(H1N1), B/Colorado and B/Phuket, and younger age for A(H1N1).
conclusionOverall pre-vaccination seropositivity was high and just over half of the cohort seroconverted to ≥ 1 vaccine antigen. Antibody responses were highest among participants with lower pre-vaccination titers. Among older adults with high pre-existing antibody titers, approaches to improve immune responses are needed.
