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
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to determine the level of antihemagglutinin antibodies in the serum of patients in the geriatric population in Doctor's Surgery NZOZ Nucleus Warsaw, Poland, during the epidemic season 2021/2022 using the hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI), according to anti-influenza and anti-COVID-19 vaccination, age, and sex. MATERIAL AND METHODS Serum samples taken from 256 patients aged 65 to 99 years were examined for anti-hemagglutinin antibodies and protective levels of antibodies against antigens: A/Victoria/2570/2019 (H1N1)pdm09, A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020(H3N2), B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage), and B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage) of the quadrivalent influenza vaccine for epidemic season 2021/2022. RESULTS The highest protective level, ie, the percentage of people with antibody titers ≥40 was 87.5% and was recorded for subtype A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020(H3N2), the dominant type causing infections in the epidemic season 2021/2022 confirmed by molecular biology methods. Geometric mean titer (GMT) values and protective levels for B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage) antigen were higher for men than women (respectively 38.4 vs 67.6; P<0.001 and 58.0% vs 74.6%; P<0.001). The protective levels of antibodies among patients vaccinated vs unvaccinated against COVID-19 were higher for B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria lineage) and B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage) antigens (64.2% vs 44.4%; P=0.023 and 78.6% vs 55.6%; P=0.004). GMT values for vaccinated against COVID-19 were also higher. There were no significant differences between younger (65-79 years) and older (≥80 years) seniors. CONCLUSIONS The analysis shows differences in the level of individual antibodies, GMT and the protective level depending on subtypes of influenza A or B virus, B/Victoria or B/Yamagata lineage, sex, and previous vaccination history against influenza and COVID-19.
