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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, and infections often worsen the clinical condition of these patients. Respiratory infections, either bacterial or viral sources, are important causes of high morbidity and mortality in older adults. Beyond the burden of infection-related complications, they are also associated with non-infection-related complications such as cardiovascular (CV) events. For example, herpes zoster is associated with an increased risk of stroke and myocardial infarction. Vaccination is an effective preventive strategy for patients with CVD by reducing viral and bacterial infections, and minimizing systemic inflammatory responses to support plaque stability and reduce the likelihood of CV events in high-risk patients, thereby reducing the risks of CV and non-CV hospitalizations and mortality. Despite evidence on the effectiveness, safety, and benefits of vaccines and recommendations to vaccinate older patients and those with risk factors, vaccination rates remain sub-optimal in this population. The Taiwan Society of Cardiology and the Infectious Diseases Society of Taiwan recently appointed a task force to formulate a consensus on vaccinations for adults with high CV risk or CVD. Based on the most up-to-date information, the consensus provides current evidence-based important recommendations.
