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

Special populations, particularly pregnant women, are uniquely susceptible to infectious diseases due to alterations in their immunological, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems during gestation. Influenza infections during the perinatal period have been associated with more severe maternal and perinatal outcomes, underscoring the critical importance of vaccination data for pregnant women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), all pregnant women and those of childbearing age should receive the inactivated influenza vaccine, irrespective of their pregnancy stage. This study aimed to elucidate factors influencing neonatal antibody presence following maternal influenza vaccination. Conducted through convenience sampling in Athens, Greece, this study involved 78 pregnant women who received flu vaccinations. The participants completed questionnaires covering demographics, obstetric history, attitudes toward influenza vaccination, and knowledge about the influenza virus and pregnancy vaccination. Blood samples were collected from 83 neonates to assess IgG antibody presence. Five of the surveyed women had twin pregnancies. The statistical analysis employed IBM SPSS-Statistics version 26.0. This study revealed the presence of positive influenza A and B antibodies in neonates following maternal immunization. Furthermore, it identified factors such as the gestational week and timing of vaccination during pregnancy that influenced the transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus. These findings offer valuable insights for healthcare professionals to provide informed recommendations on influenza vaccination during pregnancy and empower expectant mothers to make informed decisions about the benefits of immunization.
