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

Immunizations for influenza and pneumococcus are effective interventions in reducing morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to describe the vaccination rates in volunteers from three regions of Argentina during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, 3853 adults were surveyed, 61.6 % were females, 45 % were aged between 40 and 60 and 18.6 % were > 60 years old. The commonest comorbidities were hypertension (12.9 %), dyslipidemia (8.5 %), and smokers or former smokers (9.2 %). The global influenza vaccination rate was 37.7 %, pneumococcal vaccination 24.7 %, and both 17.8 %. Multivariable regression showed that the vaccination rate increased with age and the presence of comorbidities. However, in the subgroup with indications for both vaccines, 71.7 % had the influenza vaccine, 59 % had the pneumococcal vaccine, and 28.3 % received neither. Our study suggests that influenza and pneumococcal vaccine percentages in high-risk patients in Argentina remain sub-optimal. Immunizations with proven reductions in morbimortality could have also been relegated during the COVID pandemic.
