Influenza awareness, vaccination rates, and influencing factors among rural elderly population: a population-based cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundInfluenza-related respiratory diseases account for approximately 88,000 deaths annually in China. Vaccination against influenza is the most effective measure to prevent the virus and its potentially severe complications. This study aims to assess influenza awareness, vaccination coverage, and factors influencing vaccination uptake among rural populations in northern China after the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to June 20, 2020, targeting older population residents aged 60 years and above in rural areas of Tianjin, China. A total of 1265 participants were enrolled. Data were collected through pre-designed, face-to-face questionnaires, encompassing demographic information, physical examination results, medical history, awareness of influenza, and vaccination status. The study analyzed the levels of influenza awareness, vaccination rates, and factors associated with vaccine uptake.
resultsThe influenza awareness rate among participants was 84.9%, while the 5-year vaccination rate was notably low at 7.4%. Participants with coronary heart disease (CHD) exhibited significantly higher 5-year vaccination rates compared to those without CHD (OR = 2.625, 95% CI: 1.564–4.405, p < 0.001). Additionally, participants in the medium (OR = 6.096, 95% CI: 1.854–20.041, p = 0.003) and high (OR = 7.179, 95% CI: 2.211–23.305, p = 0.001) awareness groups were more likely to be vaccinated compared to those in the low awareness group.
conclusionsAddressing factors that influence 5-year vaccination rates and enhancing awareness can substantially improve vaccine coverage, thereby mitigating the burden of influenza-related diseases. Future public health strategies should prioritize comprehensive vaccination programs and ongoing education to achieve higher vaccination rates and improved health outcomes for the rural older population.
