Knowledge, attitudes, barriers and uptake rate of influenza virus vaccine among children from 6 months to 5 years of age in Jordan: a multicentric cross-sectional study.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundVaccination against influenza is the major primary preventive measure to reduce the major health and economic burden of influenza infections. Children aged 6 months to five years, have been identified as the highest risk group for influenza complications, therefore, it is essential to ensure a high uptake rate of influenza vaccine amongst this age group.
methodsA structured questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model was used to collect data from parents through face-to-face interview on influenza vaccine uptake among children from 6 months to 5 years of age in Jordan. It also aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes and barriers towards influenza vaccine for this age group.
results477 parents completed the study questionnaire. The study revealed a low influenza vaccine uptake rate of 12.0% for the 2022/2023 influenza season. Around one fifth (19.3%) of study participants reported to ever had their child vaccinated against influenza. The study identified several factors motivating parents to get their children vaccinated; such as healthcare professional advice, higher income and history of previous severe influenza infection requiring hospitalization. On the other hand, several barriers related to influenza vaccine were identified; such as cost and concerns about the vaccine safety.
conclusionsThere is an overall low uptake of influenza vaccine amongst children in Jordan. There is a need for public health programs and more involvement of the healthcare professionals to improve the reported rates of vaccination from Jordan. This is in addition to focusing these programs on reported barriers for the influenza vaccine uptake.
