Uptake rates, knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward seasonal influenza vaccination among healthcare workers in Lebanon.

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
Despite recommendations and their occupational risk to influenza infection vaccine hesitancy remains a challenge among healthcare workers (HCWs). No studies have been conducted in Lebanon to assess the influenza vaccine's acceptance among HCWs. We conducted a survey to assess factors associated with vaccine uptake and practices among HCWs in Lebanon. Only 40.4% of the HCWs reported receiving the 2018-2019 seasonal vaccine and 1 out 5 routinely received the seasonal vaccine. One-third of the HCWs reported having free access to the influenza vaccine. The willingness to receive the vaccine decreased had it been offered for a fee. Self, family and community protection (55.5%) was a key vaccination enabler. While, viral evolution, concerns regarding vaccine efficacy and side effects, and cost of vaccine ranked as top vaccination barriers. The majority of the HCWs (75%) recommended the vaccine to their patients. Past influenza vaccination (Odds ratio (OR) = 2.37, CI 1.48,3.79), willingness to receive the vaccine for free (OR = 6.93, CI 4.27-11.34) or having diagnosed influenza (OR = 1.81, CI 1.12-2.92) were significantly associated with HCWs' willingness to recommend the vaccine to patients. Better knowledge about influenza and vaccination was strongly associated with the willingness to receive and recommend the vaccine (
