Hepatitis B Vaccination History among medical intern doctors and nurses in three national referral hospitals in Uganda.

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
Background: Healthcare trainees are at high risk of acquiring the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). Objective: We aimed to evaluate the HBV vaccination status among medical intern doctors and nurses in Uganda. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of medical interns (doctors and nurses) working in three national referral hospitals in Uganda. Self-reported vaccination status was classified into "fully vaccinated", "partially vaccinated," and "not vaccinated." Results: A total of 186 participants were enrolled in the study. More than half of the participants were from Mulago National Referral Hospital (n=110, 59.14%), were male (n=103, 55.38%), and were medical intern doctors (n=127, 68.28%). The majority of the medical interns (n=166, 89.0%) had received at least one dose, but n=97 (58.43%) reported receiving all three recommended doses of the HBV vaccine. Forgetfulness (n=8, 30.8%) and cost of the vaccine (n=8, 30.8 %) were the main reasons some participants were unvaccinated. Conclusion: The completion rate of the HBV vaccination schedule among medical interns was low. It is essential to establish systems that require medical interns to have completed their HBV vaccination before starting their medical internship.
