1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionChildren with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are susceptible to infections due to impaired immunity, immunosuppressive treatments, and dialysis, which lead to increased mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization rates. Immunization is an efficient preventive strategy, but despite the long-existing guidelines, vaccination rates of children with CKD remain suboptimal.

aimThis review aims to summarize the available data on vaccine-preventable infection morbidity and vaccination coverage in children with CKD, the reasons of vulnerability and suboptimal vaccination of this population and strategies that have been proposed for their overcoming.

resultsVaccination coverage studies for children with CKD are limited and outdated but, despite their variability, they confirm suboptimal vaccine coverage. The vulnerability of children with CKD to infectious dis-eases has been better understood with advanced molecular studies of their immune re-sponse. Several barriers, some of them unique to this population, hamper adherence with vaccination guidelines. Targeted interventions at different levels that have already been tried in adults with CKD, such as enhanced communication with families, cocooning strategies for the most vulnerable, education of specialists on vaccines, and organization of vaccination teams, seem promising in improving vaccination rates and infection prevention.

conclusionsThe suboptimal protection from infections of children with CKD can be improved with prioritization of vaccination in their complicated care.
