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
backgroundVaccination intent is defined as the willingness to get vaccinated against a COVID-19 pandemic in a situation where the vaccine is available at no cost. Nevertheless, even with the availability of COVID-19 vaccines, some part of the public is not expected to get vaccinated, mainly due to a phenomenon known as vaccine hesitancy or lack of intention. Furthermore, there is little information available on the intention of people with chronic medical conditions about the COVID-19 vaccines in Ethiopia.
objectiveThe study aimed to assess the intent to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and its associated factors among adults with a chronic medical condition.
methodAn institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 15 to March 15, 2021. Simple random sampling was employed to get representative samples. Data were collected by using a structured questionnaire through face to face interviews. The data were entered by Epi Info version 7 and analyzed with SPSS version 20. The data were analyzed by using binary logistic regression. Those variables with a P-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered significantly associated with the outcome variable.
resultIn this study, 423 study participants took part with a response rate of 100%. The mean age of the study participants was 50.07 (SD ± 13.7) with a range of 18-85 years. The intention to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 pandemic was 63.8% [95% CI (58.6-68.2)]. In the multivariable analysis the variables, retiring from the job was [AOR = 2.65, 95% CI (1.02-10.35)], having health insurance coverage [AOR = 1.38, 95%CI (1.04-3.65)], being in the high socio-demographic status [AOR = 1.67, 95%CI (1.01-2.78)], being confident with the Country's health care system [AOR = 2.00, 95%CI (1.15-3.49)], and having good knowledge about COVID-19 [AOR = 6.59, 95% CI (4.02-10.78)] were significant predictors of intent to get vaccinated against COVID-19 pandemic compared.
conclusionThe intention of getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 pandemic was relatively low. There has to be a great effort by the health caregivers as well as the government to increase vaccination intake, particularly for these priority groups.
