Immunogenicity as a Predictor of Influenza Vaccine Efficacy: A Systematic Review.
Review in Vaccines, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesInfluenza represents a significant burden on global public health, and vaccination is the most effective strategy to reduce it. The large investment in vaccination programs and the need for adjustments in vaccine serotypes are important reasons for evaluating the influenza vaccine's efficacy every year. Establishing a relationship between immunogenicity data and efficacy is also crucial for predicting the efficacy of a vaccine during its development. Antibody response measurement is one of the most common methods for evaluating immunogenicity, particularly in vaccines and biologics. The aim of this systematic review was to define a model that relates the immunogenicity of a given vaccine to its efficacy, based on hemagglutination inhibition titer levels.
methodsTo achieve this goal, information was gathered from articles linking immunogenicity with the efficacy of the influenza vaccine in the Medline and Scopus databases. Different mathematical models were developed and applied to assess the relationship between HAI titers and the effectiveness of the flu vaccine. This analysis was conducted for the various existing vaccines, for the different influenza virus strains, and for their efficacy in paediatric populations.

conclusionsThe efficacy values for titer level 40 confirm the validity of the data provided by Hobson.
