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
objectivesSeasonal influenza poses significant global health challenges, with healthcare professionals (HCPs) particularly vulnerable due to frequent exposure to infected patients. Influenza vaccination is a proven method to reduce morbidity and mortality. Despite recommendations by health authorities, vaccination uptake among HCPs remains suboptimal globally and within Jordan. This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, barriers, and influenza vaccine uptake among physicians in Jordan.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2023 to June 2023 involving 389 physicians from Ministry of Health facilities across Jordan. A structured and validated questionnaire was used to collect demographic data, vaccination history, and insights guided by the health belief model. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of vaccine uptake and patient vaccination practices.
resultsThe influenza vaccination rate during the 2022-2023 season was 47%. Vaccination uptake was associated with factors such as age, geographic location, professional designation, and training. Vaccinated physicians demonstrated better knowledge and more favorable attitudes toward vaccination. Common barriers included misconceptions about personal risk, concerns over vaccine efficacy, and forgetting to vaccinate. Physicians who received training were more likely to recommend vaccination to patients.
conclusionsThe low vaccination rate among Jordanian physicians highlights the need for targeted educational interventions and policies to address misconceptions and barriers. Improving influenza vaccination uptake among HCPs is critical to enhancing patient confidence, reducing transmission, and improving public health outcomes.
