Exploring influenza vaccine hesitancy in community pharmacies: Knowledge, attitudes and practices of community pharmacists in Ontario, Canada.
Article in Canadian pharmacists journal : CPJ = Revue des pharmaciens du Canada : RPC. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundVaccine hesitancy (VH) remains a prime contributor to poor influenza vaccine uptake. This study explores the knowledge, attitudes and practices of community pharmacists toward influenza VH, including their personal influenza immunization attitudes and behaviours.
methodsA web-based cross-sectional survey questionnaire was administered to community pharmacists practising in Ontario, Canada. A 38-question survey tool explored 5 domains, including pharmacists' personal attitudes and behaviour toward influenza immunization, their self-reported knowledge of influenza, its vaccine and vaccine hesitancy, and their attitudes, practices and experiences with influenza VH at the community pharmacy. The data were analyzed descriptively.
resultsA total of 5530 survey invitations were e-mailed, and 885 responses were collected (response rate 16%). Two-thirds (
conclusionFacilitating optimal practice scope for pharmacists, and capitalizing on the convenience and accessibility of the community pharmacy setting, presents a promising means to address influenza VH. However, barriers to pharmacist-initiated engagement on influenza vaccine must be explored and addressed.
