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
Objectives: To assess the knowledge levels, attitudes, practices, and associated factors regarding herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination among primary healthcare physicians in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023, among 281 primary healthcare physicians in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which included a 15-point knowledge assessment scale and a Likert-type scale for attitudes and practices. Knowledge was deemed sufficient if the median score was achieved. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified predictors of knowledge sufficiency. Results: Of the 288 physicians invited, 281 participated with a response rate of 97.6%. The mean age was 35.2 ± 8.4 years, with a male majority (n = 164; 58.4%). Adequate knowledge of HZ vaccination was observed in 176 (62.6%) participants. Knowledge was associated with a professional level ( Conclusions: While knowledge levels among primary healthcare physicians in Jazan are acceptable overall, gaps in vaccination practices persist. Experience was a significant determinant of knowledge sufficiency, whereas time constraints were the primary barrier to vaccine recommendation. Targeted educational interventions and systemic adjustments were recommended to address time management challenges.
