Factors associated between behavior of administrating or recommending mumps vaccine and primary care physicians' knowledge about vaccination: A nationwide cross-sectional study in Japan.

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
backgroundIn Japan, the mumps-containing vaccine was withdrawn from routine vaccination in 1993, and it became a voluntary vaccination. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the physicians' knowledge about vaccinations and the administration or recommendation of the mumps vaccine.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study targeting primary care physicians (PCPs) in Japan. We used a web-based self-administered questionnaire by Preventive Medicine and Health Promotion Committee Vaccine Team, the Japan Primary Care Association (JPCA), from March to June in 2019. The outcome of the study was the association between PCPs' knowledge about vaccine and the administration or recommendation of mumps vaccine. We obtained the information on background, subsidies of mumps vaccination for children from the local government, and vaccination quiz scores. We performed logistic regression analysis to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
resultsAmong 10,470 PCPs in JPCA, 5075 were excluded. We received responses from 1084 PCPs (20.1%) and enrolled 981 participants in the analysis. PCPs with a higher score on the vaccination quizzes were significantly more likely to administrate the mumps vaccine for adults (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.93, 95% CI 1.45-2.59,
conclusionsWe revealed an association between the administration or recommendation of mumps vaccine and PCPs' better vaccination knowledge.
