Combined association of socioeconomic status and type 2 diabetes with influenza vaccination in older adults: A cross-sectional analysis of the Korea National Health and Examination Survey (2019-2022).
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGiven the limited evidence on the joint association of socioeconomic status and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with influenza vaccination uptake, we examined this association among adults aged 65 years and older eligible for the National Immunization Program in the Republic of Korea.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2019-2022, stratified by pre-COVID-19 (2019) and COVID-19 (2020-2022) periods including 5,525 adults aged 65 years and older. The participants were classified by T2DM status and SES indicators (income, education, and economic activity). Multivariable logistic regression estimated adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for influenza vaccination, adjusting for demographic characteristics, health behaviors, health status measures, and healthcare access factors.
resultsAmong 5,525 adults aged ≥65 years in the 2019-2022 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the weighted influenza vaccination rate was 77.6% overall (78.2% pre-COVID-19; 77.1% during COVID-19). Compared with high-income adults without diabetes, low-income adults with T2DM had lower odds of vaccination (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57-0.99), and low-income adults without T2DM showed a similar trend (aOR = 0.82; 95% CI, 0.65-1.03). By education, low-education adults with T2DM had lower vaccination likelihood (aOR = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.61-1.15) compared with college-educated adults without T2DM. Economic activity was not significantly associated with vaccination (aOR = 0.91; 95% CI, 0.70-1.18). Findings were consistent across pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods (P for interaction = 0.24).
conclusionsSocioeconomic disadvantage and T2DM may jointly contributed to lower influenza-vaccination uptake among Korean adults aged 65 years and older.
