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
objectivesThe administration of the COVID-19 vaccine to children depends on parents' decisions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate parental attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines and to assess the reasons behind their attitude and their consequences on the child's social life.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, between 15
resultsA total of 562 parents participated in the survey. When asked about the likelihood of vaccinating their children, 181 (32%) answered that it was either unlikely or very unlikely. Regarding the children's social lives, 231 (88.9%) parents who had not vaccinated their children reported that their child was able to attend school regularly, socialize with friends, and travel without any concerns. Furthermore, there was a significant association between parental occupational status and children's reception of the vaccine. Conclusion: Although the percentage of parents who vaccinated their children was high, more than half of the parents were concerned about the vaccine's safety. More research is needed with a larger sample and a larger geographical area to further understand the attitudes of parents towards their children's vaccination and address their concerns. This can help governments not only in dealing with the public but also the vaccine manufacturing industry in understanding what individuals fear and are skeptical of regarding new vaccines.
