Community-Based Cross-Sectional Assessment Survey On Herpes Zoster Vaccination Practices.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Herpes Zoster (HZ), also known as Shingles, is a commonly occurring infection especially among the elderly. It is due to the reactivation of the dormant virus in the sensory ends that were present since the primary infection with the virus. Objective: Our study aims at assessing the knowledge, attitudes practices beliefs and current barriers towards the Shingrix vaccine to fully understand where we stand and come up with proper recommendations to services these at-risk individuals and ultimately have a positive impact on the healthcare system. Methods: Questionnaire based cross sectional study using a translated version of a previously developed and tested questionnaire. Results: more than 8000 participants responded to the survey. The vast majority had chicken pox before and did hear about the vaccine from different sources. Most of the participants had minimal knowledge regarding the vaccine and were willing to take it regardless of some safety concerns. Conclusion: more efforts need to be conducted to enhance vaccine uptake in at risk populations in Saudi Arabia.
