Awareness and Practice of Vaccination of Chronic Hemodialysis Patients by Specialist Nephrology Practitioners in Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and global health, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Vaccination of hemodialysis (HD) patients reduces mortality and infection transmission in dialysis units, but its practice is perceivably poor in Nigeria with no study quantifying the level of awareness and practice to date. A questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study on nephrologists was designed. Average group performance scores were calculated for each professional group. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 software. The mean age of a total of 142 respondents was 40.7 ± 8.4 years. The average group performance scores for consultants, senior registrars, medical officers, dialysis nurses, and general nurses were 63.4, 63.4, 50.3, 43.4, and 43.4, respectively. Six facilities (11.1%) had active vaccination protocol against hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) alone. These comprised 4/8 (50%) private facilities and 2/46 (4.3%) public hospitals. One public tertiary hospital (2.2%) had an active vaccination protocol against
