A systematic review of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated with inequalities in invasive meningococcal disease prevention in high-income countries and Latin America.
Synthesis in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is an uncommon and often fatal disease. Although IMD vaccines are widely available in high-income countries, vaccination access and receipt vary. To identify factors associated with IMD prevention inequalities across high-income countries and Latin America, a systematic literature review (SLR) of four databases (Embase, MEDLINE/MEDLINE In-Process, The Cochrane Library, EconLit; 2012-2023), and recent congress proceedings was conducted. In total, 68 studies reported inequalities in IMD prevention and were included in the analysis, across North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Western Pacific. Despite increased vaccination opportunities, inequalities in IMD prevention remain, associated with demographic and socioeconomic characteristics such as age, sex, income, and quality healthcare access. Poor IMD vaccination rates were associated with low IMD knowledge/awareness, negative attitudes toward vaccination, and low educational attainment. This SLR identified knowledge gaps regarding IMD prevention, highlighted underserved populations, and may inform policy changes to improve IMD-related health equity.
