Barriers related to COVID-19 testing intention.
Article in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
objectivesAlthough vaccination against the COVID-19 disease has recently become available, individuals are expressing fear and hesitancy towards receiving it. As a result, testing for COVID-19 is still considered a vital method to contain infection. For testing to be effective, barriers towards testing intention need to be investigated; and available literature on the challenges are scarce. This study aimed to investigate barriers of COVID-19 testing among a sample of Jordanian adults and predict testing intention within the context of these barriers.
methodsA cross-sectional, descriptive, and predictive design was employed in this study among a sample of 1074 Jordanian adults.
resultsThree clusters of barriers predicted testing intention; perceived discrimination at work, concerns of individual's privacy, and having negative feelings towards testing. While perceived discrimination at work and privacy concerns were negatively associated with individuals' intention for testing, experiencing negative feelings towards COVID-19 testing was a positive predictor.
conclusionWithin the context of the study findings, public health nurses need to promote safety at the workplace, protect an individual's privacy, and eliminate negative feelings towards testing uptake through the provision of accurate and up-to-date information regarding the COVID-19 disease.
