1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHealth-care professions are among the highly exposed group of population affected by COVID-19 pandemic and identified as the target population to get vaccination against the spread of the infection. However, vaccine reluctance is still high, which may negatively affect the efforts to prevent the spread of the infection. Hence, this study was aimed to assess acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among health professionals working in Hospitals of South Gondar Zone, Northwest Ethiopia.

methodsInstitutional-based cross-sectional study was performed among 422 health professionals working in Hospitals of South Gondar Zone, Northwest Ethiopia, from March 1 to 30, 2021. Study participants were selected through simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identified factors associated with acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine with a

resultOverall, 45.3% of health professionals accepted COVID-19 vaccine. Age (AOR: 2.55; 95% CI: 1.32-4.92), being male (AOR: 1.729; 95% CI: 1.32-2.34), had higher risk of COVID-19 (AOR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.00-3.02), and positive attitude (AOR: 3.26, 95% CI: 2.14-4.96) were found to be statistically significant with the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine.

conclusionThe acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among health professionals was significantly low. Participant's age, sex, high risk of COVID-19, and attitude toward COVID-19 vaccine were significantly associated with vaccine acceptance. Therefore, the government with respective stakeholders should emphasize addressing the concern of the health professionals and increase attitudes regarding COVID-19 vaccine to scale up vaccine acceptance.
