Nudging healthcare workers: assessing the impact of pre-booked appointments on influenza vaccination uptake.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare workers in Italy remains low compared with international benchmarks. Evidence on effective and scalable interventions in hospital settings is limited. Methods: We conducted a clustered quasi-experimental study in a large Italian university hospital, comparing the 2024/25 campaign to 2023/24. Hospital cost centers ( Results: Overall coverage increased from 16.0% in 2023/24 to 25.2% in 2024/25. The DiD analysis indicated a significant effect of invitation letters (+4.0 percentage points). Stratification showed heterogeneous responses: the intervention was particularly effective among nurses, female workers, and mid-aged staff, while no effect was observed among physicians, the youngest, and the oldest age groups. Conclusion: Personalized invitation letters with pre-scheduled appointments represent a simple, scalable, and resource-efficient strategy to increase influenza vaccination uptake among HCWs. However, the effect was not homogeneous across subgroups, highlighting the importance of tailoring communication strategies to different professional and demographic profiles.
