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: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in late 2019 and has become a global pandemic, overwhelming healthcare systems and causing millions of deaths. Vaccines were the most effective tool among all implemented preventative measures. Vaccine uptake was influenced by people's knowledge and attitudes regarding its safety and efficacy. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and key factors affecting vaccine acceptance and hesitancy among the population of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 among adult patients aged 18 years and above in Bahrain using a non-probability snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through self-administered online forms distributed via social media platforms. Descriptive, inferential, and regression analyses were performed. Results: A total of 407 Bahraini adults were included with a mean age of 34.1 ± 14.2 years. Most participants (75.2%) received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. More than half of participants reported that they would accept the vaccine if suggested by a physician ( Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, targeted physician-led educational activities to address vaccine safety and side-effect concerns, particularly among females and married individuals, are advised.
