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

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving immunosuppressive therapies are at increased risk of vaccine-preventable diseases, including influenza. Despite recommendations for annual influenza vaccination, uptake remains suboptimal. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a surge in telemedicine (Tele-M) use, raising concerns about its impact on vaccination rates due to reduced in-person interactions. This study aimed to assess the impact of IBD-specific Tele-M on influenza vaccine uptake and identify predictors of vaccination in patients with IBD. Methods: This single-center retrospective study evaluated influenza vaccine uptake among adult patients with IBD seen between September 2021 and April 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups: Tele-M only and ≥1 in-person visit. Vaccination status was confirmed using the Wisconsin Immunization Registry. Primary outcome was influenza vaccination frequency by visit type, while secondary outcomes evaluated the impact of Tele-M on other vaccinations and predictors of influenza vaccine uptake. Results: Among 547 patients, 53.2% received Tele-M only, and 46.8% had ≥1 in-person visit. Influenza vaccine uptake was similar between the Tele-M only and ≥1 in-person visit groups (69.0% vs. 75.1%, respectively, Conclusions: IBD-specific Tele-M did not adversely affect influenza vaccine uptake among patients with IBD. These findings highlight the importance of ensuring vaccination compliance irrespective of healthcare delivery modes. Collaboration among healthcare providers is crucial to improve vaccination rates in patients with IBD.
