Interventions targeting healthcare worker influenza vaccination: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Healthcare workers (HCWs) have notably low influenza vaccination coverage rates (VCR) despite influenza being one of the world's deadliest viruses. Interventions have attempted to tackle this issue, yet they have been unsuccessful in reaching desirable HCW VCR. In a systematic review, we aimed to understand and examine the specific behavior change methods of interventions that impact HCW VCR. Based on 86 studies, we identified 35 different behavior change methods. Although meta-analyses were not possible, the results suggest that interventions using rewards, nudging, or mass-media persuasion were most effective. Mandates, though one of the most effective methods, was not the most effective. Additionally, in the studies from 2016 onward there was a shift away from mandates and toward more autonomy-supportive methods. Ultimately, more research is needed to understand what methods are best for increasing HCW VCR globally. What is essential is the correct fit between identified psychosocial determinants and the method for change, considering the parameters of those methods in their application.
