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

Between October 2024 and February 2025, influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 initially predominated in Germany, with subsequent co-circulation of influenza B/Victoria. We provide interim estimates of 2024/2025 influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) in Germany across primary care and secondary care. VE against any influenza in primary care was 31% (95% CI: 1-52). Interim VE was high against influenza B; however, interim estimations indicated a much lower VE against influenza A especially in the adult age group below 60 years. In secondary care, VE against any influenza was 69% (95% CI: 21-88). Our findings support promoting influenza vaccination alongside infection-preventing behavior and prompt antiviral therapy.
