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

objectiveThere is a lack of published evidence on factors associated with adherence (maintenance of cumulative vaccination) to seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) in Manitoba, Canada. We sought to assess the associations.

methodsA cohort study utilizing Manitoba administrative health databases. Participants received SIV in 2010/11 influenza season, remained registered Manitoba residents and received at least one SIV during the 2011/12‒2019/20 seasons. We dichotomized adherence into "more adherent" (6‒9 SIVs) and "less adherent" (1‒5 SIVs) and used multivariable adjusted generalized estimating equation logistic regression models to assess association between adherence and socioeconomic, health-related, and primary care physician (PCP) characteristics, stratified by age group (< 5, 5‒17, 18‒44, 45‒64, ≥ 65) and sex. Results are adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.

resultsThere were 152,493 participants. Males had lower odds of being more adherent except among ≥ 65-year-olds (1.03, 95% CI 1.01‒1.05). Compared with the lowest income quintile, those in higher income quintiles had higher odds of being more adherent. The odds mostly increased with increase in income quintile. Those with more contact with their PCP/hospitalization one year prior had higher odds of being more adherent. The odds increased with increased contact among those 18‒44, 45‒64 and ≥ 65 years old. Those who had PCP with more years of practice had higher odds of being more adherent. The odds increased as years of practice increased. These observations were mostly consistent irrespective of sex.

conclusionFemale gender, having higher income, having more contact with the health system, and having an experienced PCP may determine increased adherence to SIV in Manitoba. These findings require attention.
