Influenza Vaccination and Short-Term Risk of Stroke Among Elderly Patients With Chronic Comorbidities in a Population-Based Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 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
The protective effect of influenza vaccination on stroke risk has been inconclusive. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of influenza vaccination on the 1-year risk of stroke in individuals aged 60 years and older with COPD and hypertension or diabetes mellitus. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in four districts of Shanghai, China, from August 2017 to July 2019. Data were collected from various information systems related to chronic disease management, cardiovascular reporting, and immunizations. The incidence of stroke within 1 year was compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated chronic disease patients. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs). Sensitivity analysis was performed using the Poisson regression model to examine the association between influenza vaccination and stroke incidence, and propensity score matching was employed to address confounding. We found that influenza vaccination was associated with a lower risk of stroke during the two influenza seasons, 2017-2018 (adjusted HR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.10-0.73) and 2018-2019 (adjusted HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.21-1.02). The results from the Poisson regression model (RR, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.10-0.70) were consistent with those obtained from the Cox model analysis. The reduction in stroke risk associated with influenza vaccination ranged from 54% to 73%. Our findings suggest that influenza vaccination is associated with a lower 1-year risk of stroke in individuals with chronic illnesses, compared to those who are not vaccinated.
