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

objectivesPreterm survivors are at risk of acquiring communicable diseases post-discharge. Cocoon strategy is immunization of close contacts to prevent infections in such vulnerable individuals. This study assessed the coverage of cocoon vaccines among mothers of very preterm infants.

methodsThis retrospective study analyzed the proportion of mothers of very preterm (< 30 weeks) infants who received the eligible cocoon vaccines [tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap), influenza, and varicella] in the antenatal or postnatal period.

resultsSeventy-five out of 159 (47.2%) mothers had received all three cocoon vaccines; the median postnatal age of receiving vaccines was 38 (23, 55) days. Influenza and Tdap vaccines were administered to 64.1% and 48.5% mothers, respectively, either antenatally or postnatally. Only 49.2% (34 out of 69) of the fathers were covered for cocoon vaccines.

conclusionLess than 50% mothers were compliant with cocoon vaccination protocol. This calls for more intensive efforts towards improving vaccine coverage among close contacts of high-risk infants.
