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

backgroundVaccination is the most effective strategy for preventing infectious diseases and related complications, and proving its efficacy is crucial for its success and adherence, especially for newly introduced vaccines, such as adjuvanted recombinant herpes zoster virus vaccination (RZV). In this observational real-life study, we recorded adverse effects following immunization (AEFIs) after RZV administration in frail populations.

methodsA total of 271 subjects underwent RZV at Vaccination Center, University Hospital "San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona", Salerno, Italy. Most subjects were solid organ transplant recipients (kidney, 77.1%; liver, 4.8%). Demographics, clinical data, and AEFIs (type, duration, and medications used) were recorded.

resultsOverall, 37% of participants reported at least one AEFI following the first dose, predominantly pain at the injection site (60%), while 41% did so after the second dose (pain at the injection site in 62% of cases). Medications were more frequently used for AEFI treatment after the second dose (28%) rather than after the first dose (13%) (

conclusionsOur study added evidence of safety and tolerability of the adjuvanted recombinant RZV in frail adults.
