Disparities in Vaccination Amongst Socially Vulnerable Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2025. 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
introductionSocial determinants of health (SDOH) have a known impact on disparities in vaccination. Despite an increased risk for infection in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), SDOH and vaccination in this population have not been studied. Using census tract-level data from the Centers for Disease Control's social vulnerability index (SVI), we aimed to understand the relationship between SDOH and adherence to guideline-recommended vaccinations in patients with IBD.
methodsA single-center retrospective cohort of patients with IBD was used to geocode patient addresses to their individual census tract and corresponding SVI and subthemes (Socioeconomic Status, Household Composition, Minority Status, and Housing/Transportation). We used separate multivariable logistic regressions to examine the relationship between SVI and vaccination against influenza, COVID-19, pneumococcal pneumonia, and herpes zoster.
resultsA total of 7,036 patients were included. Rates of vaccination varied across vaccine-types: influenza (57%), COVID-19 (65%), pneumococcal pneumonia (58%), and herpes zoster (11%). High social vulnerability was associated with lower odds of vaccination against influenza (OR 0.47, p < 0.001), COVID-19 (OR 0.54, p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR 0.73, p = 0.012), and herpes zoster (OR 0.39, p < 0.001). Within the SVI subthemes, Socioeconomic Status, Household Composition, and Minority Status were important factors associated with differences in vaccine uptake.
conclusionHigher social vulnerability was associated with lower rates of vaccination across all vaccine types. Identifying these disparities in vaccination for socially vulnerable patients with IBD is the first step to reducing preventable infections and ensuring all patients receive high quality, equitable care.
