The effect of short message reminders on seasonal influenza vaccination rates in the geriatric population.

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
Seasonal influenza causes substantial morbidity and mortality in older adults, yet vaccination coverage in this population remains low. This study evaluated the association between short message service (SMS)-based informational and reminder messages and influenza vaccination uptake among adults aged 65 y and older. In this single-center prospective study, an SMS reminder was sent at the beginning of the 2024-2025 influenza season to 1690 individuals aged ≥65 y who had attended a family medicine outpatient clinic during the previous season. Demographic characteristics and prior-season influenza vaccination status were obtained from electronic medical records. At the end of the season, participants were contacted by telephone, and 338 individuals who completed follow-up were included in the final analysis. Influenza vaccination uptake increased from 16.9% in the 2023-2024 season to 31.4% in the 2024-2025 season, corresponding to an absolute increase of 14.5% points (
