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
Introduction: hepatitis B is a severe disease that can be prevented by vaccination. However, few healthcare professionals, a group at high risk of contamination, are vaccinated against this disease in Burkina Faso. We conducted a study of healthcare professional students to evaluate their knowledge and factors associated with their propensity toward Hepatitis B vaccine. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and explanatory study of 410 healthcare professional students of the National School of Public Health of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Data were collected from 26 to 1 June 2020. Participants were randomly selected and were given a self-administered questionnaire. Results: less than one third of healthcare professional students were fully vaccinated against hepatitis B. A small proportion of healthcare professional students were aware of the three modes of transmission (46.6%), risks of exposure in the healthcare setting (31.2%) and disease complications (26.6%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that healthcare professional students´ awareness of the risks of exposure in the healthcare setting and complications of the disease were statistically associated with hepatitis B vaccination. Conclusion: strengthening the knowledge of healthcare professional students is necessary to improve vaccination coverage in this risk group.
