Exactly! Look at the word salad used in the Cochrane review:
"Vaccination may lead to a small reduction in the risk of hospitalisation in healthy adults, from 14.7% to 14.1%, but the CI is wide and does not rule out a large benefit (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.08; 11,924 participants; low‐certainty evidence)."
So RR=0.96 ==> VE=4% statistically non-significant and their conclusion is "does not rule out a large benefit"
Excellent! Thanks!
I also remember the Cochrane about flu vaccine. It is nothing there too!

Large benefit?!?
Unbelievable!
yes... probably they need to include sobremething like this to publish.
The numbers? Nothing over nothing.
