Monkeypox Vaccine Hesitancy Among Healthcare Workers in Pakistan.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate healthcare workers (HCWs) acceptance of the HMPXV vaccine in Pakistan and identify influencing factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 4257 HCWs assessed vaccine acceptance across demographics, ethnicity, marital status, specialty, medical conditions, and education. Logistic regression identified predictors of acceptance. Results: The overall HMPXV vaccine acceptance among HCWs was 73.1%. The gender distribution shows that a majority of participants are female (56.60%) while males constitute 43.40% of the sample. Interestingly, vaccine acceptance is higher among females (68.43%) compared to males (31.57%). Ethnicity in the sample reveals that Punjabi participants are the most common at 45.25%, followed by Pashtun (26.06%), Sindhi (14.41%), Balochi (12.72%), and Other (1.46%). Age categories are compared to the 18-30 age group. The odds of vaccine acceptance are lower for individuals aged 31-40 (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.19-1.25) and for those over 60 (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.41-0.97). Conversely, the odds are higher for those aged 41-50 (OR 1.93, 95% CI 0.27-3.01) and 51-60 (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.19-1.67). Gender comparison reveals that females have higher odds of vaccine acceptance (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.21-1.24) than males. Among ethnicities, Sindhi participants (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.23-1.88) have slightly higher odds of vaccine acceptance than Punjabi participants. Marital status doesn't significantly influence vaccine acceptance, but married individuals have slightly higher odds (OR 1.75, 95% CI 0.87-5.06). In terms of specialty, Surgery/Allied professionals have lower odds of vaccine acceptance (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.13-1.70) compared to Medicine/Allied professionals. Conclusion: Strategies addressing demographic disparities and countering misinformation are crucial for enhancing HMPXV vaccine uptake among HCWs. Targeted interventions are necessary for effective vaccination coverage in healthcare settings.
