Safety profile of India's influenza vaccine in a large-scale corporate vaccination drive.

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 causes substantial morbidity, mortality, and productivity losses worldwide, and although annual vaccination is recommended for adults, coverage in India remains low; corporate vaccination drives may improve access and uptake among working-age adults. We evaluated the safety profile of an inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine administered during a large-scale corporate vaccination program in India. This observational post-marketing surveillance study was conducted during a multi-center drive at Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. where consenting employees aged ≥18 y received a single 0.5 mL intramuscular dose of inactivated influenza vaccine (Vaxiflu-4, Zydus Vaccines). Recipients were observed for 30 min post-vaccination for immediate reactions and instructed to report adverse events (AEs) occurring within 7 d post-vaccination using a standardized reporting form or helpline; AEs were classified as systemic, local, or serious and summarized descriptively. Among 9,000 vaccinated employees (88% male; 75% aged ≤40 y), no serious AEs were reported. Systemic AEs were infrequent, including fever in 13 recipients (0.14%), flu-like symptoms in 9 (0.10%), and headache in 3 (0.03%), all of which were self-limiting. Local AEs were rare, with soreness at the injection site reported by 18 participants (0.20%); no swelling or redness was reported. One case of frozen shoulder (0.01%) was recorded and assessed as unrelated to vaccination. Overall, the inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (Vaxiflu-4) demonstrated a favorable safety profile in this large corporate setting, with very low rates of mild systemic and local AEs and no serious vaccine-related events, supporting workplace influenza vaccination programs as a feasible strategy to improve adult immunization coverage in India.
