Do adolescents need a rubella vaccination campaign? Rubella serosurvey among healthy children in Hangzhou, China.
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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of rubella antibodies and factors associated with antibody seropositivity after vaccination among healthy children aged 14 and below. A multi-stage stratified random sampling method was employed to recruit participants for the rubella serological test. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to detect human IgG antibodies with avidity for rubella virus in the sera of participants. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze associations between variables. A total of 778 subjects were included in the subsequent analysis. The overall positive rate of rubella antibody was 83.0% (95%CI: 80.2-85.5%), and the overall geometric mean concentration (GMC) was 58.05 IU/ml. In multivariate analysis, gender, residence, birth year group, and time since the last rubella-containing vaccines (RCV) vaccination were significantly associated with the seroprevalence of rubella antibodies. Our study showed a decreasing trend in rubella antibody positivity and GMC in the population aged five to 14 years. Therefore, we recommend a catch-up dose of RCV for adolescents and young people aged over 14 years not yet vaccinated.
