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

introductionThe aim of this work is to preliminarily evaluate the post-marketing safety of a quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine in healthy individuals aged 3 years and above through active surveillance of adverse reactions following vaccination.

methodsDuring the 2024-2025 influenza season, healthy participants aged 3 years and older were enrolled in Jiangsu Province. All participants received a single dose of the quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were monitored within 0-28 days post-vaccination, and information on SAEs occurring within 6 months post-vaccination was also collected. Descriptive analyses were performed to calculate the reporting rates of AEs, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and SAEs. We compared differences in overall and symptom-specific ADR reporting rates across age groups and sexes.

resultsA total of 3105 participants completed vaccination and were included in the safety analysis set. A total of 282 participants reported 477 AEs, yielding an overall AE reporting rate of 9.08%. A total of 188 participants reported 318 ADRs, with an ADR reporting rate of 6.05%. The most frequently reported ADR symptoms were tenderness (69 episodes, reporting rate 2.22%), cough (57 episodes, 1.83%), and fever (46 episodes, 1.48%). The majority of ADRs (272 episodes, 85.53%) were grade 1 in severity, and most symptoms (253 episodes, 79.56%) resolved within 3 days of onset. No vaccine-related SAEs were reported, and no new serious adverse reactions were identified.

conclusionsThis active surveillance study demonstrated a favorable safety profile for the quadrivalent subunit influenza vaccine, with low ADR reporting rates and predominantly mild, transient reactions. These findings provide reliable evidence supporting the preliminary post-marketing safety assessment of the vaccine in China.
