A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Immunogenicity and Safety of the Influenza Vaccine in COPD Patients, and Its Relevance with Real-World Effectiveness.

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
Objective: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the immunogenicity and adverse events of influenza vaccines in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and explored their relevance to real-world vaccine effectiveness (VE). Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library (Wiley), Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform using keywords of "influenza vaccine", "immunogenicity", "COPD", and "Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease" to identify relevant studies published up to April 24, 2024. These are randomized controlled trials and cross-sectional, prospective, and observational studies that included COPD patients, particularly those aged ≥50 years, which assessed the immunogenicity of inactivated trivalent and quadrivalent, split-virion influenza vaccines. The outcomes were geometric mean titer (GMT), seroprotection rate (SPR), seroconversion rate (SCR), and safety. Results: Six studies involving 672 participants were retrieved. The pooled SCR in the intradermal subgroup was highest for A/H1N1 (68.6% [95% CI = 48.6-83.5%]) and A/H3N2 (65.8% [95% CI = 57.9-73.0%]). SPR was highest via subcutaneous route, reaching 96.0% for A/H3N2 however only one study was available, hence the findings should be interpreted with caution. The pooled mean difference in GMT was higher for intradermal than intramuscular vaccination, particularly for the A/H1N1 strain (8.38 vs 7.98) and A/H3N2 (7.97 vs 7.44). Local adverse events were more frequent with intradermal vaccination, particularly erythema (31.5%) and swelling (28.7%), while systemic events such as fever were rare (<5%). Conclusion: The GMT, SPR, and SCR of influenza vaccination in COPD patients were more robust in laboratory settings than in real-world VE, indicating a gap between antibody responses in real-world clinical practice and laboratory settings.
