What shapes influenza attitudes and behaviors in Italy? Insights from a cross-sectional study.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 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
Seasonal influenza places a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Despite the effectiveness of annual vaccination in reducing morbidity, mortality, and costs, vaccination coverage remains suboptimal. This study explored influenza-related attitudes and vaccination behaviors among adults aged 18 and older through a web-based survey (n=1,821). Among participants, 36% were aged 65 or older and 52% reported chronic conditions. Multivariable analysis identified chronic conditions and high perceived influenza risk (OR 8.8; 95% CI 6.2-12.4) as significant predictors of disease severity perception, while reliance on non-institutional online sources was negatively associated. Key predictors of vaccination in the past five years included having children, higher income, healthcare employment or retirement status, presence of chronic illness, positive perceptions of healthcare quality, and favorable attitudes toward influenza (OR 6.7; 95% CI 3.9-11.2) and vaccination (OR 4.3; 95% CI 2.4-4.5). These findings underscore the urgency of tailored, evidence-based communication and improved access strategies to increase influenza vaccination coverage in Italy.
