Does the Emergency Department Have a Role in Immunisation? Yes-But Not as a Routine Vaccine Clinic.

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
EDs are not routine immunisation settings, yet they often provide care for patients whose immunisation needs may be unrecognised, unmet or not recently reviewed. This is particularly relevant for people who experience fragmented access to healthcare, vulnerability, language or cultural barriers, or who have questions or concerns about immunisation. Immunisation care in emergency departments should be opportunistic and proportionate rather than framed as universal vaccine delivery. For emergency clinicians, the practical task is to assess where a presentation reveals an immunisation-related need and respond in a way that fits the patient, clinical presentation and local service capacity. This may include administering an indicated vaccine, providing education, addressing concerns, documenting unmet need or supporting follow-up with relevant immunisation services in the community. Consistent with the National Immunisation Strategy 2025-2030, a team-based approach is important to support immunisation care in ED settings.
