Compulsory vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in health care professionals in Italy: Bioethical-legal issues.
Article in Medicine, science, and the law, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
On 17 March 2022, the Italian Council of Ministers, by means of Press Release No. 67, sanctioned the extension of the vaccine obligation against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for health workers until 31 December 2022. Healthcare workers who do not demonstrate that they have adequate vaccination coverage will be suspended from work and will not be paid. Recently, the Council of Administrative Justice of Sicily has identified possible contrasts between the vaccine obligation of health professionals and numerous constitutional principles, paving the way for an interesting bioethical-legal debate on the subject. The aim of this article is to examine the possible profiles of unconstitutionality of the measure of the Italian Government and to identify medico-legal and bioethical issues potentially related to the vaccine obligation for health professionals in a context of resolution of the emergency phase related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
