Influenza vaccine uptake in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a multi-centre cross-sectional study.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2024. 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
While most countries provide safe and effective influenza vaccines for at-risk groups, influenza vaccine coverage among children with rheumatic diseases remains uncertain. This study investigated influenza vaccination rates in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) during the 2019-2020 season and assessed the knowledge and attitudes of caregivers of children with JIA regarding influenza vaccination. The secondary aims were to identify barriers to vaccination and explore strategies to improve vaccination rates. A multi-centre, cross-sectional anonymous survey was conducted in 7 countries during the 2019-2020 influenza season to assess the uptake history of influenza vaccination. Among 287 participants, only 87 (30%) children with JIA received the influenza vaccine during the 2019-2020 season. Children who were more likely to be vaccinated were those with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), a history of previous vaccination and those aware of the vaccination recommendations. Conversely, children who previously experienced adverse vaccine-related events reported the lowest uptake. The primary reason for non-vaccination was lack of awareness about the necessity of influenza vaccination. Conclusion: Despite variations among countries, the uptake of influenza vaccines remains low in children with JIA. Improving awareness among families about the importance of influenza vaccination may increase vaccination rates in children with rheumatic diseases. What is Known: • Rheumatic children are at increased risk for influenza infection due to immunosuppressive therapy and immune dysregulation. • Influenza vaccine is formally recommended to children with rheumatic diseases. What is New: • This multicentre study showed that influenza vaccine uptake rates remain suboptimal among children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis despite formal recommendations. • Factors like previous experience with vaccination and information provided by medical professionals via different ways play essential roles in increasing vaccination rates and can contribute to improved health outcomes for these vulnerable children.
