Article in The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05888649 (Community Preparedness for Outbreak Response and Readiness for ZEBOV Vaccination in Liberia), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 papers.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Health-care workers (HCWs) will require Ebola virus vaccine (EVV) when it is introduced because of the high risk of exposure to the disease. Evaluations of factors that facilitate or limit vaccine uptake are critical for a successful vaccine program. Nigerian HCWs were interviewed to evaluate their knowledge, levels of acceptance, determinants of acceptance, and willingness to pay for EVV. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05. None of the 193 participating HCWs had correct knowledge of EVV; 34.7% (67/193) of workers thought that EVV was an extract of the serum of Ebola virus patients. About 77.3% (51/66) of workers in a region that reported Ebola cases (Lagos) were willing to be vaccinated, compared with 4.7% (3/61) in Enugu and 13.6% (9/66) in Abia (P = 0.0001). After health education, the proportion of HCWs willing to receive EVV increased (P = 0.006) except for doctors (P < 0.1). The percentage of HCWs willing to pay for EVV was 86.4%, 72.1%, and 59% in Lagos, Enugu, and Abia, respectively. The workers had fears about EVV based on nonfactual assumptions. Therefore, the EVV introduction strategy should include a strong awareness campaign with adequate explanation about the content of EVV.
