Assessment of the impact of vaccine literacy on influenza vaccination practices among diabetic patients in Iraq.

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
Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases susceptibility to infections and severe outcomes, making vaccination a critical preventive strategy. Despite this, vaccine uptake among patients with DM remains suboptimal. Vaccine literacy (VL), the ability to find, understand, evaluate, and use vaccine information, is a key determinant of acceptance, yet evidence from Iraq is scarce. This study assessed VL among diabetic adults in Iraq and examined its association with influenza vaccination. A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and August 2025 among adults with DM. Participants completed the Arabic Vaccine Literacy Assessment tool (HLVa-Ar), a sociodemographic survey, and vaccination history. Logistic regression identified factors associated with influenza vaccination, and quantile regression examined predictors of VL scores. Among 473 participants (median age 50 y; 53.1% female), the median VL score was 36 (IQR 30-41). Influenza vaccination coverage was 52.2%. Higher VL scores were positively associated with uptake (OR = 1.062, 95% CI [1.031-1.093],
