Knowledge of Physicians About Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination.
Article in Turkish thoracic journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of physicians on influenza and pneumococcal vaccine. MATERIALS AND
methodsA questionnaire was administered to physicians working in Kyrenia University Hospital and Near East University School of Medicine.
resultsThere were 38 female (56.7%) and 29 male (43.3%) participants. The mean age was 39.3±12.5 years. There were 24 general practitioners (GP) and 43 specialists participating in the study. Influenza vaccine and its risk minimization for infection were well known among 92.5% of the participants. However, 76.1% of them mentioned that they had knowledge about the pneumococcal vaccine, and this ratio about its reducing the risk of infection was 73.1%. 83.7% of specialists and 79.2% of GP thought that adult vaccines were effective (p=0.6). The rate of influenza vaccination among specialists was higher than that of GP (67.4% vs. 41.7%, p=0.04). However, the rates of pneumococcal vaccination were low and similar in both groups (p=0.3). In both specialists and GP, the most common reason for not receiving the vaccine was the belief of not being in the risk group (p=0.9). The knowledge level of pneumococcal vaccination in GP was found to be statistically lower than in specialists (p<0.05).
conclusionAlthough influenza vaccine and its risk minimization for infection are well known among physicians, the pneumococcal vaccine is not well known. It is suggested that training about vaccination for both specialists and GP are important for preventive medicine.
