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
backgroundHealthcare professionals' misjudgment of contraindications to vaccination can lead to unnecessary delays or missed vaccinations. It is essential to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of healthcare professionals towards this issue.
methodsA two-phase cross-sectional study was conducted among healthcare professionals in vaccination clinics in Ningbo in 2022. The study data were collected using questionnaires evaluating the knowledge and attitudes of contraindications and precautions to vaccination. Knowledge scores were calculated and a cutoff of 75 was defined for adequate knowledge scores.
resultsA total of 761 participants completed the questionnaire on attitudes. The majority of participants (86.20%) considered screening for vaccination contraindications to be the most important aspect of the vaccination administration process. A higher level of work stress was observed among full-time personnel engaged in this work. A total of 301 participants completed the questionnaire on relevant knowledge and practical experience. The median (IQR) total score was 75.00 (21.88). The lowest median score was observed for questions pertaining to disease diagnosis and classification (median: 40.00; IQR: 40.00). Regarding knowledge about vaccination contraindications, the scores for questions regarding national guidelines or vaccine package inserts (median: 85.71; IQR: 14.29) and guidelines from the WHO or ACIP (median: 100.00; IQR: 0.00) were higher than those derived from expert consensuses or literature findings (median: 71.43; IQR: 28.57) (
conclusionsThe knowledge of healthcare professionals working in vaccination clinics related to contraindications and precautions to vaccination is not sufficient, particularly regarding disease diagnosis and classification. Knowledge enhancement through repetitive skill training is required.
