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

Despite the expanding scope of pharmacists' practice to include immunization, vaccine coverage among adults in Canada remains below national targets. We conducted online surveys of healthcare providers (HCPs) that provide vaccines in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada, to determine their perceptions about pharmacists as immunizers. A validated and pre-tested cross-sectional survey was distributed to pharmacists, physicians, and nurses via professional associations, health authorities, and social media. Of the 223 respondents, 41.3% were pharmacists, 24.7% nurses and 34.1% physicians. Pharmacists described experiencing more social (81.0%) and professional (62.0%) pressure to administer vaccines, as compared to nurses (58.2% and 27.9%) and physicians (60.0% and 9.1%) (
