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: Vaccination is an effective measure to prevent herpes zoster and its related complications. The coverage of herpes zoster vaccination is extremely low in China, and there is a notable lack of research investigating the barriers to promoting the herpes zoster vaccine in China. Objectives: This study aims to survey the status of herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination and its associated factors among individuals aged 50 years and older, it also seeks to identify the barriers to vaccination and dissemination, thereby providing a scientific foundation for enhancing the vaccination rate of herpes zoster. Methods: From March to August 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted using a multi-stage sampling method on permanent residents aged 50 years and older in Chaoyang district of Beijing. Logistic regression analysis and decision tree models were employed to explore the predictors herpes zoster vaccination behavior. Results: The herpes zoster vaccination coverage was 13.26% (403/3040), with 52.4% of respondents expressing willingness but not yet receiving the vaccine, while 34.31% (1,043/3040) were unwilling to be vaccinated. Among those willing but not vaccinated, 48.06% cited high cost as the reason for abstaining from vaccination. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that certain factors were associated with lower vaccination coverage, including being female, having a low frequency of influenza episodes (less than twice per year), and having chronic diseases. On the other hand, higher vaccination coverage was observed among individuals whose spouses had a master's degree or higher, those awarded that a history of chickenpox may lead to potential herpes zoster infection, those who were knowledgeable about the herpes zoster vaccine, and those received recommendations from medical staff. Additionally, the decision tree model confirmed that recommendations from medical staff had the most significant impact on vaccination. Conclusion: The survey reveals a generally low vaccination coverage of the herpes zoster vaccine among residents aged over 50 in this area. It is recommended to enhance the role of medical staff in advocating for vaccination, conduct community-based educational initiatives that focus on varicella, herpes zoster, and related knowledge, and alleviate the financial burden to improve the herpes zoster vaccination coverage.
