Influenza Vaccine Uptake in the Elderly: Biopsychosocial Vulnerabilities and Effectiveness of a Community-Health Worker Administered Preventive Program.
Article in Journal of community health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This quasi-experimental study examined the biopsychosocial (BPS) vulnerabilities of non-vaccinated elderly individuals, evaluated the effectiveness of community health workers (CHWs) in improving influenza vaccine uptake, and assessed the impact of a CHW-administered community-based health intervention (CBHI) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Pre- and post-intervention data were collected from participants enrolled in the "Get Well, Live Well" (GWLW) program. As part of this CBHI, hospital-employed CHWs applied various interventions to improve influenza vaccine awareness, accessibility, and timely administration. The BPS risk screener and EQ5D-3L were used to assess the individuals' initial biopsychosocial vulnerabilities and pre/post-program HRQoL respectively through face-to-face and telephone interviews. Influenza vaccination rates were computed and data were analyzed utilizing Chi-square and non-parametric tests, along with logistic regression analysis (α = 0.05). The final sample (n = 229) had a mean age of 73.15 ± 5.6 years and comprised 68.1% women and 87.8% Chinese. Non-vaccinated individuals were found to be younger and exhibited significantly greater social health risk and poorer self-rated health than their vaccinated counterparts. Multivariate analysis revealed that age was the primary predictor of non-vaccination (OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.90-0.99). The CHW-administered GWLW program doubled influenza vaccination rates (30.1-60.7%) and significantly improved the summary index, self-rated health, and prevalence of no pain/discomfort among the elderly. CBHIs, administered by hospital-employed non-medical CHWs, proved effective in improving influenza vaccination rates and elevating HRQoL. Future influenza vaccination efforts should prioritize socio-interpersonal interventions for the younger elderly.
