Exploring influenza vaccination coverage and barriers to influenza vaccine uptake among preschool children in Fuzhou in 2022: a cross-sectional study.

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
Background: Children are vulnerable to influenza virus due to their developing immune systems, particularly children aged 6 months-5 years (preschool children). To improve the uptake of influenza vaccine in preschool children, it is important to determine the influencing factors of Chinese parents/guardians' (P/Gs) intention and behavior for children to receive. We implemented an investigation to determine coverage of influenza vaccination in preschool children and the influencing factors of being vaccinated against influenza among preschool children in Fuzhou. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Using a hierarchical approach, based on the coverage of influenza vaccination in preschool children, the 12 districts/counties in Fuzhou were divided into two levels. In each level, two urban districts and two counties were selected, including 2 randomly selected vaccination clinics and 2 kindergartens. A standardized anonymous questionnaire was used to collect information on P/Gs. Chi-square testing and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze factors that may be associated with influenza. Results: The coverage rate of influenza vaccination was 7.38% among preschool children in 2022 in Fuzhou City. A total of 8,768 guardians completed the questionnaire. 54.70% of the responders had received at least one dose of flu. Only 23.56% of the P/Gs involved were able to correctly list the influenza clinical feature. Higher education status had higher coverage ( Conclusion: Influenza vaccination coverage among preschoolers was low, and parental/guardian knowledge regarding influenza prevention was inadequate. Enhanced awareness, vaccine understanding, and recommendation policies correlated with higher coverage. Authorities should implement sustainable financing and incentives to ensure access and affordability, while promoting education to convert vaccination intentions into actual uptake.
