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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveActually, there are no studies related to the attitudes of health professionals towards the official recommendation of influenza vaccination, despite the fact that there are numerous investigations that have addressed their own attitude towards vaccination. The objective is to design the Questionnaire on the Attitudes of Healthcare Professionals towards the Official Flu Vaccination Recommendations (CAPSVA).

methodsQuasi-experimental study. The control group includedInstrumental study was conducted between February and March 2019 with 288 professionals of Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy of the Principado of Asturias (Spain). The sampling was non-probabilistic of incidental type. After content validation, a tool was designed with 16 items in three dimensions. Reliability (alpha ordinal) and internal validity (exploratory factorial analysis using the parallel analysis method) analyses were performed, as well as frequency analysis and mean comparisons.

resultsThe exploratory factor analysis yielded a 3-factor solution that explained 79.38% of the total variance. The ordinal alpha ranged from 0,72 to 0,80. The test-retest recorded a value of r= 0,804 (p < 0,001). There were no statistically significant differences when comparing according to sex (p = 0,952), professional group (p = 0,563) or having received influenza vaccination in the last campaign (p = 0,861). There were these differences when comparing the number of years of professional practice (p = 0,003) and having received specific training in vaccines in the last year (p = 0,004). More than 90% of the participants valued positively the influenza vaccination strategy of the Autonomous Community of study (quadrivalent vaccine for < 65 years and adjuvant trivalent for ≥65 years).

conclusionsA questionnaire with sufficient guarantees of reliability and internal validity is available to evaluate the attitudes of health professionals towards the official recommendation of influenza vaccination.
