Do Pregnant Persons Want Influenza Vaccines? Knowledge, Attitudes, Perceptions, and Practices Toward Influenza Vaccines in 8 Low- and Middle-Income Countries.

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
backgroundVaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza infection and adverse outcomes; despite global recommendations to vaccinate pregnant persons, access to influenza vaccines remains low. We explored knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant persons to inform actions to improve vaccine uptake.
methodsWe pooled data from cross-sectional surveys assessing pregnant persons' attitudes toward influenza vaccines in 8 low- and middle-income countries. Countries used standard methods to measure attitudes and intents toward influenza vaccination. We stratified by presence/absence of a national influenza vaccination program, income group, geographic region, and individual-level factors.
resultsOur analysis included 8556 pregnant persons from 8 countries. Most pregnant persons (6323, 74%) were willing to receive influenza vaccine if it was offered for free. Willingness differed by presence of an existing influenza vaccination program; acceptance was higher in countries without programs (2383, 89%) than in those with programs (3940, 67%, P < .001).
conclusionsMost pregnant persons in middle-income countries, regardless of influenza vaccination program status, were willing to be vaccinated against influenza if the vaccine was provided free of charge. National investments in influenza vaccination programs present an opportunity to avert illness both in pregnant persons themselves and in their newborn babies.
