1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

COVID-19 vaccines to children are expected to reduce the transmission of the disease to high-risk groups and achieve herd immunity in younger populations. A positive attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination in children among healthcare workers (HCWs) is predicted to reduce parents' hesitancy to vaccinate their children. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude of pediatricians and family physicians toward COVID-19 vaccination in children. A total of 112 pediatricians and 96 family physicians (specialists and residents) were interviewed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and perceived safety of COVID-19 vaccines for children. Physicians willing to receive regular COVID-19 vaccination (analogous to the influenza vaccine) had significantly higher knowledge and attitude scores (
