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
objectivesVaccination is one of the most significant public health achievements of humanity. However, a significant portion of the population remains hesitant about vaccine safety, efficacy, and necessity. This study aimed to determine COVID-19 vaccination intention and factors affecting their decision among the general population in the Kurdistan region, Iraq.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted online during (April-May 2021), and a total of 1171 participants provided complete and valid answers were enrolled. Data collection was done through online questionnaire through Google Forms. We used binary regression analysis to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination intention.
resultsThe majority (53.6%) of the participants were female. Willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccine was low (33 %) of the participants. We found that vaccine hesitancy/resistance was high which was evident for (32%) and (34.9%) of surveyed populations, respectively. Vaccination intention may associate with age, education, and occupation. Furthermore, several factors were associated with hesitancy/resistance: Adverse effects of the vaccine and loss of family members during the pandemic.
conclusionsMore than half of the study participants refused or were hesitant to have the COVID-19 vaccine, so that Governments and health authorities should improve communication and increase trust.
