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
introductionIn response to the drastic complications that resulted from Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) infection, vaccines were developed to contain its rapid spread. However, concerns were raised regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and practices of Lebanese obstetricians regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, highlighting the barriers to recommending it.
methodsA cross-sectional study was implemented using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and percentages were utilized to get an overview of obstetricians' characteristics and responses. Inferential statistics were employed to examine plausible barriers to recommending the vaccine.
resultsA total of 265 obstetricians were included in the study. Most of the physicians had received the vaccine themselves (254 (95.8%)) and were recommending the vaccine to all of their pregnant patients (238 (89.8%)). Lack of data about the safety of the vaccine and that of clear guidelines were the main reasons for not recommending it to all patients. Receiving the vaccine, having sufficient data about the vaccine, adequate knowledge about COVID-19 infection and vaccination, the type of vaccine, and managing patients who were exposed to COVID-19 were significant predictors of offering the vaccine.
conclusionsOur results provided an overview of Lebanese obstetricians' attitudes and practices regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and identified some of the factors that hinder the recommendation of the vaccine. Such information might be helpful to overcome the obstacles that prevent obstetricians from abiding by international recommendations, thus increasing the uptake of vaccines by pregnant women in any potential future pandemic.
