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

Objective: To investigate the current knowledge level of Chinese college students about monkeypox and their willingness to receive vaccination against monkeypox and to analyze its influencing factors to provide reference for formulating targeted measures to accelerate vaccination. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted as an online survey via a self-filling electronic questionnaire, and data were collected from July 1 to 16, 2023. The subjects were Chinese college students. The collected data included basic subject data, cognition of monkeypox knowledge, and willingness to receive monkeypox vaccination. The χ Results: A total of 5,317 valid questionnaire responses from college students were assessed in this study. The number of male students was 3,574 (67.2%) and that of college freshmen was 2,395 (45%). The majority of college freshmen and senior students were willing to receive the monkeypox vaccine (79.7% vs. 76.0%, respectively). Regarding monkeypox as an infectious disease, 82.9% of college freshmen and 79.3% of senior students were correct. Regarding the basic knowledge about monkeypox, most college students answered the knowledge questions correctly (53.1-84.8%). In the college students, we noted a correct understanding i) of vaccination and that monkeypox is a rapidly spreading disease ( Conclusion: College students are concerned about the monkeypox virus up to a certain extent, and they are willing to receive vaccination with the monkeypox vaccine, albeit their knowledge about the monkeypox virus is insufficient in China. In the future, dissemination of monkeypox knowledge and awareness of vaccine-related knowledge should be strengthened to further enhance the willingness to receive monkeypox vaccination.
