Socioeconomic Inequities in the Age-Specific Burden of Severe Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Canada, 2016-2019.

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
backgroundLimited attention has been given to social inequities in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), particularly beyond childhood and neighborhood-level measures. This study aimed to quantify the burden of severe RSV disease across the age continuum by individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) indicators.
methodsWe conducted a longitudinal descriptive study of Canadians (excluding Québec) ≥6 months of age using the 2016 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (2016-2019). International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision-coded RSV-related hospitalization rates, rate ratios (RRs), and rate differences (RDs) per 100 000 person-years were estimated using Poisson regression.
resultsRates of RSV-related hospitalization were greatest among Canadians with lower compared to higher SES, as indicated through income (RD, 11.7 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 10.1-13.3]; RR, 2.8 [95% CI, 2.4-3.2]), education (RD, 18.7 [95% CI, 16.6-20.9]; RR, 3.3 [95% CI, 2.9-3.7]), and measures of poorer housing conditions including unaffordable housing and apartment living. Inequities varied by measure and age group; while rates were highest among 6- to 59-month-olds and ≥80-year-olds overall, some of the greatest relative SES inequities were among other ages.
conclusionsUnderstanding SES factors' role in RSV-related hospitalization risk is necessary to inform equitable prevention efforts, including delivery of emerging RSV immunizations.
