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

Annual influenza vaccination is an effective way to reduce the burden of disease throughout the year. A cross-sectional study was conducted in primary healthcare centres in Qatar to determine vaccination coverage among physicians, motivators, and barriers. The vaccination rate was higher among physicians aged 45 years and above (p-value < 0.005). Most primary care physicians (95 %) strongly agree that being vaccinated reduces the risk of disease spread. The most frequently mentioned barriers were the belief that one could still get influenza after being vaccinated and the fear of side effects (92.6 % and 29.5 %, respectively). Health authorities can implement strategies that take these factors into account to increase immunization coverage.
