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
Background: Despite the easy availability of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination services for healthcare workers (HCWs), some of them hesitate about receiving the vaccine. The aim of this study was to assess the factors contributing to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) among HCWs in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2021-2022. Participants were 551 HCWs selected through systematic random sampling from four leading university hospitals in Zanjan, Iran. A demographic questionnaire and a 36-item COVID-19 VH questionnaire were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 20) and through the independent-sample Findings: Participants' age mean was 34.40 ± 7.77 years and most of them were female (65.9%) and married (70.8%) and had university education (88.6%). The mean score of VH was 96.29 ± 12.88 (in the possible range of 36-180), 79.49% of participants had moderate VH, and 17.42% of them had high VH. COVID-19 VH had significant relationship with organizational role, history of chronic disease, COVID-19-related knowledge, history of COVID-19 vaccination, and history of colleagues' or relatives' death after vaccination (P < 0.05). The significant predictors of COVID-19 VH were COVID-19-related knowledge (ß = -0.113; P = 0.008) and history of COVID-19 vaccination (β = 0.165; P < 0.001). Conclusion: COVID-19 VH among HCWs is moderate to high, nurses have the highest VH, and the significant predictors of VH are COVID-19-related knowledge and history of COVID-19 vaccination.
