Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: India has launched COVID vaccination program on January 16, 2021 and precautionary dose (third dose) on January 10, 2022. Our study evaluated adverse events following immunization (AEFI) among healthcare workers (HCWs) following first, second, and precautionary dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (COVISHIELD) vaccine. We also evaluated the association of AEFI with the study participants' characteristics. Objectives: (1) To assess the adverse events among HCWs following first, second, and precautionary dose of COVISHIELD vaccine. (2) To determine the factors associated with adverse events of COVISHIELD vaccine. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among HCWs of a tertiary care teaching hospital in central Karnataka from January 2021 to June 2022. A semi-structured, pretested questionnaire was used to interview the HCW of tertiary care teaching hospital regarding adverse events following first, second, and precautionary dose of COVISHIELD vaccine; data collected was entered in MS Excel 2019 and analyzed using SPSS v24.0. Results: Among 454 participants majority of them were females (231, 50.88%) and in the age group 18-27 years (151, 33.25%), and the majority were nursing staff (147, 32.37%). Adverse events were reported among 204 (44.93%) following the first dose, 149 (32.81%) after the second dose, and 230 (50.66%) participants following the precautionary dose. Generalized weakness and fever were the common adverse effects reported by participants. Conclusion: Majority of the study population did not report any adverse events following vaccination. Among the study participants who reported adverse events, most events were reported on the same day. Symptoms were mild in severity and short-lived.
