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
introductionIn veterinary medicine, vaccines help in combating various infectious diseases, thus maintaining the health and welfare of the animals. However, in Ethiopia, the use of vaccines has been hindered by multiple challenges, and the extent of willingness to vaccinate (WTV) has not been properly assessed.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out from December 2023 to February 2024 to assess the willingness of livestock owners to vaccinate and the factors affecting it in Negele-Arsi, Shashemene and Hawassa, Ethiopia. A total of 100 questionnaire samples (50 from Negele-Arsi, 30 from Shashemene and 20 from Hawassa) were collected from veterinary clinics in these areas.
resultsOverall, 38% of the respondents reported WTV for their animals, 36% of the reported willingness to pay, whereas 75% of the respondents also chose drugs as a control method for diseases compared to vaccines. Age, educational level of livestock owners and the rate of importance of vaccines were also shown to have a significant association with WTV (p < 0.05). As challenges, livestock owners mentioned that inaccessibility, high price of vaccines and harm caused by vaccines as the major obstacles they face when vaccinating their animals.
conclusionThis study has demonstrated that the lack of awareness and knowledge about vaccines, coupled with challenges livestock owners are facing, are the obstacles hindering the vaccination of a vast number of livestock in the three areas. Therefore, it is necessary to address these problems properly to ensure the effective delivery of vaccines for the appropriate service of vaccines.
