Evaluation of a nurse-led pneumococcal vaccination program in a day hospital.
Observational study 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
backgroundPneumococcal vaccination coverage among at-risk adults remains low in France. Our objectives were to assess pneumococcal vaccination coverage before and after implementation of a nurse-led vaccination program in a French university hospital day-hospital, to describe reasons for refusal, and to assess the duration of the nurse intervention as an indicator of feasibility in routine practice.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study using health records from the day-hospital unit where pneumococcal vaccination was systematically offered to unvaccinated patients during a three-week period in 2023. The nurse-led program encompassed identification of vaccination indications, patient counseling on vaccination, and immediate on-site vaccine administration when accepted. Multivariable penalized logistic regression was used to study factors associated with vaccine acceptance.
resultsA total of 102 patients were analyzed (median age, 68 years [56-75]; 66% women). At baseline, pneumococcal vaccination coverage was 39%. Among unvaccinated patients (n = 62), two-thirds accepted vaccination, increasing overall coverage to 79%. Patients who accepted vaccination were older (aOR per 10-year increase, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.15-3.87) and more frequently male (aOR, 15.4; 95% CI, 1.6-501). Counseling duration was shorter among patients who accepted vaccination, with 61% completing the interview in less than 5 min. The most common reasons for refusal were insufficient knowledge and concerns about side effects, nearly half explicitly referring to COVID-19.
conclusionA nurse-led program for pneumococcal vaccination in a day-hospital substantially increased vaccination coverage, with most accepted vaccinations completed within 5 min, supporting the feasibility of this strategy in routine care.
