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: Currently, different COVID-19 vaccines are being developed and distributed worldwide to increase the proportion of the vaccinated people and as a result to halt the pandemic. However, the vaccination progress is different from place to place even among health care workers due to variation in vaccine acceptance. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine and determinant factors among healthcare workers in west Guji zone, southern Ethiopia. Method and materials: An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was employed to assess COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and associated factors among health care workers from July to August 2021. A simple random sampling technique was used to choose 421 representative healthcare workers from three hospitals in the west Guji Zone. The self-administrated questionnaire was used to collect data. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were computed to identify factors associated with the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Result: From the representative health workers, 57, 47.02, and 57.9% of healthcare workers had good practice of COVID-19 prevention, adequate knowledge, and a positive attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine consecutively. 38.1% of healthcare workers said they had a willingness to accept the COVI-19 vaccine. Profession (AOR-6, CI: 2.92-8.22), previous history of vaccine side effects (AOR: 3.67, CI: 2.75-11.41), positive attitude toward vaccine acceptance (AOR: 1.38, CI: 1.18-3.29), adequate knowledge toward COVID-19 vaccine (AOR: 3.33, CI: 1.36-8.12), and adequate practice of COVID-19 prevention measure (AOR: 3.45, CI: 1.39-8.61) were significant associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Conclusion: The proportion of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among health workers was found to be low. From the study variables, profession, previous history of vaccine side effects, positive attitude toward vaccine acceptance, adequate knowledge to ward off COVID-19 vaccine, and adequate practice of COVID-19 prevention measures were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
