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

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be associated with adverse influenza-related outcomes. We assessed the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of high-dose (HD-IIV) vs. standard-dose (SD-IIV) inactivated influenza vaccination against cardiovascular and all-cause hospitalizations and all-cause mortality according to history of AF. Methods and results: This was a prespecified analysis of DANFLU-1, a pragmatic, open-label, feasibility trial randomizing adults aged 65-79 years 1:1 to HD-IIV or SD-IIV during the 2021-2022 influenza season in Denmark. Baseline and endpoint data were obtained from the nationwide administrative health registries. Prespecified endpoints included cardiovascular hospitalizations and all-cause mortality occurring 14 days after vaccination until 31 May 2022. Among 12 477 randomized participants, 878 (7.0%) had AF at baseline. Participants with AF were older (73.0 ± 3.8 vs. 71.7 ± 3.9 years, Conclusion: Although DANFLU-1 was not powered for clinical endpoints, HD-IIV vs. SD-IIV was associated with lower all-cause mortality irrespective of AF status. HD-IIV compared with SD-IIV was not associated with a significantly lower incidence of AF hospitalizations regardless of AF status.
