Hepatitis B vaccination among primary health care workers in Northwest Pakistan.
Article in International journal of health sciences, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundWe assessed hepatitis B vaccination and its determinants among health care workers (HCW) in rural Northwest Pakistan.
methodsThis cross sectional study was conducted among 485 HCWs from both public and private clinics. Data about hepatitis B vaccination, socio-demographic, knowledge regarding modes of transmission of hepatitis B virus, perceived disease severity and benefits of vaccination was collected through questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed.
resultsPrevalence of complete hepatitis B vaccination was 40% (among Physicians with MBBS/MD qualification; 86% and lowest among non-qualified Dispensers;16%). Also, prevalence was higher among HCWs from public Dispensaries (77%) than those working in private clinics (35%). Being MBBS/MD Physician (Adj. OR 26.60; 95%CI 9.27-73.23), Non-MBBS/MD Physician (Adj.OR 1.89; 95%CI 0.78-4.59), qualified Dispensers (Adj. OR 3.58; 95%CI 1.34-9.54) compared to non-qualified Dispensers, working in public clinics (Adj. OR 2.54; 95%CI 1.13-5.69) as compared to private, perceived disease threat after exposure to blood and body fluids (Adj. OR 1.11; 95%CI 1.03-1.19) and perceived benefits of hepatitis B vaccination (Adj. OR 1.13; 95%CI 1.09-1.19) were significant predictors of complete hepatitis B vaccination.
conclusionImproved perception of disease threat and benefits of vaccination and qualification of HCWs are associated with hepatitis B vaccination among Primary HCWs.
