1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundTo evaluate the practices of the general population in the United Arab Emirates population toward influenza vaccinations. MATERIALS AND

methodsA community-based cross-sectional study was used to conduct this study. A self-developed and prevalidated questionnaire was distributed online through social media channels such as Facebook and WhatsApp to the public from different emirates in the UAE.

resultsA total of 265 participants responded to the survey, 142 (53.6%) males and 123 (46.4%) females. Most of the respondents had insurance coverage (

conclusionThe study found that suboptimal practices were common within the study population. It also found that a higher proportion of females, compared to males, were unwilling to continue with vaccination.
