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
backgroundHealthcare workers (HCWs) are a priority group for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza vaccination. We evaluated sociodemographic and occupational factors, attitudes, and knowledge associated with the uptake of primary and booster doses of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines among HCWs.
methodsBetween February 2022 and February 2023, we administered a structured questionnaire to HCWs in 3 Albanian hospitals who were enrolled in a multiyear cohort study. The questionnaire assessed participants' knowledge, confidence, and attitudes toward COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines, and included questions on COVID-19 and influenza vaccination history, perceptions of vaccine safety and effectiveness, and factors influencing vaccine decision-making.
resultsWe included 1456 HCWs. Their median age was 44 (interquartile range: 33-53) and 77.3% were female. Overall, 20.7% were physicians, 47.0% nurses or midwives, and 21.5% support staff. In all, 93.6% received a COVID-19 primary vaccine series, 20% a COVID-19 booster, and 23.7% received an influenza vaccine in the 2022-2023 season. In the multivariable analysis, male HCWs were more likely to receive COVID-19 boosters (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.55-2.80). However, they were less likely to receive influenza vaccines (aOR 0.69; 95% CI: .51-.95). Medical doctors were more likely to receive COVID-19 vaccine doses, while nurses had higher uptake of the influenza vaccine (aOR 1.87; 95% CI: 1.30-2.68). Confidence in the safety and effectivity of both vaccines was positively associated with vaccine uptake.
conclusionsAmong HCWs, primary series COVID-19 vaccine coverage was high, but COVID-19 booster doses and seasonal influenza vaccines were low. Findings related to age and sex differences among HCW groups with low vaccine uptake, as well as their knowledge and attitudes toward vaccines, should inform targeted strategies to improve COVID-19 and influenza vaccine uptake, particularly among younger HCWs, female HCWs, and nonphysicians.
