The uptake of influenza vaccination for the 2013/2014 season in Germany.
Article in Journal of health monitoring, 2017. 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
Seasonal influenza (flu) is an acute viral disease that occurs every winter in Germany and is referred to as the 'flu wave'. The Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) at the Robert Koch Institute recommends annual vaccination for people who are at greater risk of disease-related complications, this includes men and women aged 60 or above. In this target group, 48.1% of women and 48.7% of men who participated in the GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS study reported that they had been vaccinated against influenza during the 2013/2014 winter season. However, there were marked differences according to region. Vaccination rates decreased over time. Moreover, although the European Commission has been calling for a vaccination rate of at least 75% among the elderly from the 2014/2015 influenza season onwards, it is unclear to what extent this rate can actually be achieved. However, rates can be improved by doctors providing advice and recommending vaccination to their patients.
