Regional factors associated with pneumococcal vaccination coverage among U.S. adults with underlying chronic or immunocompromising conditions.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Centers for Disease Control recommends pneumococcal vaccination for U.S. adults aged 19-64 years with chronic or immunocompromising conditions, however, vaccination coverage is low and regional variations in coverage are rarely studied. This study examined pneumococcal vaccination coverage at the metropolitan statistical area (MSAs) level and identified regional factors associated with pneumococcal vaccination using the combined IBM® Watson Health MarketScan® Commercial and Medicare Supplemental databases. Pneumococcal vaccination coverage, clinical and socioeconomic factors were calculated for each MSA. Ordinary least square and spatial regression models were used to examine factors associated with vaccination. Results indicated that the national pneumococcal vaccination coverage was 13.4% with a large variation across MSAs (0-34%). The spatial error model, model with the best fit, showed that proportions of the population who were ≥50 years of age, received an influenza vaccine, or had health maintenance organization health plans were positively associated with pneumococcal vaccination coverage. In summary, we found that national pneumococcal vaccination coverage was low and there was substantial variation across MSAs. Regional factors identified may help inform interventions to improve pneumococcal vaccination coverage across geographies.
