1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

What is already known about this topic?: The incidence of tetanus in China remains significantly higher than in economically developed regions. Tetanus vaccination represents the most scientifically validated and efficient approach to tetanus prevention. However, vaccine hesitancy presents substantial barriers to the widespread implementation of non-neonatal tetanus vaccination programs across China. What is added by this report?: This study constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of tetanus vaccine hesitancy in China, documenting its current prevalence and underlying determinants. Findings reveal that limited knowledge about tetanus vaccines, complacency regarding tetanus risk, advanced age, and other factors significantly contribute to vaccination hesitancy. The research demonstrates that medical institutions and healthcare providers offering evidence-based information about tetanus prevention may substantially enhance vaccination uptake. What are the implications for public health practice?: By elucidating the specific reasons for tetanus vaccine refusal among trauma patients, this study provides critical insights for government agencies and health policymakers to develop contextually appropriate interventions aligned with China's national circumstances, ultimately facilitating improved tetanus vaccination coverage.
