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
introductionInfluenza is one of the main public health problems and health care personnels (HCPs) are one of the at-risk groups for this infection. The goal of the current study was to identify the beliefs and attitudes of the Iranian HCPs about influenza and the influenza vaccine.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was performed in a general hospital in Tehran, Iran from January to June 2016. A total of 418 questionnaires were distributed among the HCPs. The Chi
resultsThe influenza vaccination coverage was 57.7%; the highest vaccine rate belongs to the allied health professionals (68.2%). Two main causes for avoiding the influenza vaccination were; the "fear of vaccine adverse effects" and the "uncertainty about the vaccine effectiveness". The linear regression analysis identified that the physicians had the highest belief score, followed by the nurses and the allied health professionals (p < 0.001).
conclusionsEducational planning on influenza and influenza vaccination is necessary to improve the vaccination coverage and to reduce the influenza mortality and morbidity in susceptible patients.
