Influenza-Associated Pediatric Deaths - United States, 2024-25 Influenza Season.
Article in MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Influenza-associated deaths among children aged <18 years have been nationally notifiable since 2004. The highest number of pediatric deaths reported during a single season since reporting of influenza-associated pediatric deaths began (excluding the 2009-10 influenza A[H1N1]pmd09 pandemic) occurred during the 2024-25 season. Through September 13, 2025, a total of 280 influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported, representing a national rate of 3.8 deaths per 1 million children. The median age at death was 7 years, and 56% of children who died had at least one underlying medical condition. Influenza A viruses were associated with 240 (86%) of the deaths. Forty percent of children who died were treated with influenza antiviral medications. Among the 208 pediatric decedents with available data who were eligible for influenza vaccine, 89% were not fully vaccinated. CDC recommends that all persons aged ≥6 months who do not have contraindications receive the influenza vaccine each year, ideally by the end of October.
