Robust immunogenicity to the H3N2 component of influenza A vaccine in primary Sjögren syndrome.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03540823 (Immunogenicity and Safety of Influenza A/H3N2 Vaccine in Patients With Rheumatologic Diseases), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
introductionInfluenza A (H3N2) virus is the major cause of morbidity/mortality due to seasonal influenza over 50 years. Data about the safety/immunogenicity of influenza A/Singapore (H3N2) vaccine are scarce in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS).
methodsTwenty-one consecutive pSS patients and 42 HC (healthy control individuals) were immunized with influenza A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 (H3N2)-like virus. Rates of SP (seroprotection) and SC (seroconversion), GMT (geometric mean titers), FI-GMT (factor increase in GMT), ESSDAI (EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index), and adverse events were appraised before and 4 weeks post-vaccination.
resultspSS and HC had similar mean age (51.2 ± 14.2 vs. 50.6 ± 12.1 years, p = 0.886). Pre-vaccination SP rates were high in pSS and HC (90.5% vs. 71.4%, p = 0.114), and GMT were higher in pSS [80.0 (52.4-160.0) vs. 40.0 (20.0-80.0), p = 0.001]. The percentage of influenza vaccination in the preceding two years was elevated and similar in pSS and HC (94.1% vs. 94.6%, p = 1.000). GMT values augmented in both groups four weeks after vaccination and persisted higher in the first group [160.0 (80.0-320.0) vs. 80.0 (40.0-80.0), p < 0.001] with equivalent FI-GMT [1.4 (1.0-2.8) vs. 1.4 (1.0-2.0), p = 0.410]. Both groups had low and similar SC rates (19.0% vs. 9.5%, p = 0.423). ESSDAI values persisted steadily during the study (p = 0.313). No serious adverse events have occurred.
conclusionThe novel demonstration that the influenza A/Singapore (H3N2) vaccine induces a different pattern of immunogenicity from other influenza A constituents in pSS, featured by a desirable high pre- and post-vaccination immunogenicity, is in line with reported differences in immune responses between strains in trivalent vaccines and may be related to pre-existing immunity. CLINICALTRIALS: gov: #NCT03540823. Key Points • This prospective study demonstrated a robust pre- and post-vaccination immunogenicity to influenza A/Singapore/INFIMH-16-0019/2016 (H3N2)-like virus in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). • This high immunogenicity pattern may be related to pre-existing immunization, or else it is related to immunogenicity differences of each strain. • This vaccine had an adequate safety profile in pSS, with no impact on disease activity.
