Vaccination intention among healthcare workers during the first wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in relation to knowledge: a cross-sectional study in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, and Poland.
Article in Croatian medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo analyze SARS-CoV-2 vaccination intention and acceptance in relation to the knowledge about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, and Poland.
methodsIn spring 2020, an online survey was distributed among HCWs by using snowball sampling. The questionnaire was fully completed by 623 respondents: 304 from Croatia, 86 from Slovenia, 90 from Serbia, and 143 from Poland. The survey collected data on demographic characteristics (age, gender, education), vaccination acceptance, and knowledge about COVID-19.
resultsA total of 31% of respondents declared their intention to be vaccinated when a vaccine against COVID-19 is available, and 45% were undecided. Vaccination intention was associated with age, educational level, and knowledge about the pandemic, and differed significantly among the countries. Younger HCWs (18-25 years) and those with higher education more frequently expressed vaccination acceptance. Vaccination acceptance score was not associated with gender.
conclusionsHCWs with higher knowledge were more likely to express vaccination intention. Improving the knowledge about COVID-19 and increasing HCWs' education might also increase vaccination acceptance among HCWs, and consequently in the general population.
