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 During the COVID-19 pandemic, the introduction of the vaccine represented a light of hope. With the vaccine now accessible globally, the focus shifts to encouraging community vaccination to attain herd immunity. This study describes the factors that affect individuals' willingness to get vaccinated in Morocco. Methods From April 9, 2022, to April 27, 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among Moroccan individuals aged 18 and older at primary healthcare centers. The survey was administered through anonymous questionnaires and explored various factors that influence people's intentions regarding COVID-19 vaccination. These factors included sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, perceptions of COVID-19 risk, knowledge about vaccines, and concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy. Chi-square tests or Student's t-tests were used to describe these variables, and significant determinants of vaccine intention were identified using a logistic regression model. Results Among the 453 participants, 77.5% were women. The mean age was 41.4±16.6 years. Among the surveyed group, 51.2% indicated that they did not intend to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Several factors were significantly associated with the willingness to be vaccinated (p<0.05), including having no income (adjusted OR (AOR): 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.9-5.1, p=0.003), believing that COVID-19 is a serious infection (AOR: 13.1, 95% CI: 7.6-22.3, p<0.001), not having had a COVID-19 infection (AOR: 3.3, 95% CI: 1.7-6.4, p=0.001), having concerns about vaccine side effects (AOR: 8.6, 95% CI: 4.4-16.9, p<0.001), and believing in the benefit of booster doses (AOR: 5.5, 95% CI: 2.4-12.6, p<0.001). Conclusion The low vaccination intent observed in this study presents a major challenge for controlling COVID-19 and potentially other infectious diseases because the determinants of vaccine intent are likely similar. This finding underscores the urgent need for reliable, authoritative information on the risks of disease, the efficacy of the vaccine, and the benefits of vaccination. Additionally, assessing the commitment to completing full vaccination schedules is crucial to enhancing population-wide vaccine uptake.
