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

Background: Seasonal influenza remains a major public health burden globally, with healthcare workers (HCWs) at heightened risk due to occupational exposure and potential for nosocomial transmission. Despite this, influenza vaccination rates among HCWs in China remain suboptimal. Objectives: To assess the uptake, willingness, and influencing factors related to seasonal influenza vaccination among HCWs in a major tertiary hospital in Xi'an, China, during the post-COVID-19 era. Methods: A cross-sectional, single-center survey was conducted in December 2023 among 1,196 HCWs at Tangdu Hospital (Xi'an, Shaanxi Province). Data were collected via a validated, anonymous online questionnaire covering demographics, vaccination history, attitudes, and barriers. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with vaccination uptake and willingness. Results: Only 19.65% of HCWs reported receiving at least one influenza vaccination in the past 2 years. Vaccination rates declined significantly from 2022 to 2023. In multivariable models, influenza vaccine uptake was positively associated with household vaccination rates (adjusted OR = 7.89, 95% CI: 5.61-11.09, Conclusion: Despite positive attitudes, influenza vaccine uptake among Chinese HCWs remains low, with signs of post-pandemic decline. Addressing safety concerns, improving access, and targeted education may improve coverage and strengthen healthcare system resilience.
