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

Purpose: This study assessed influenza vaccination uptake, knowledge, beliefs, and willingness among healthcare workers (HCWs) in maternal and child health (MCH) institutions in Chengdu in the post-COVID-19 era and identified factors associated with vaccination behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in 10 Chengdu MCH institutions from May 12 to June 30, 2025, using a validated questionnaire. Analyses included descriptive statistics, univariate tests (chi-square; independent-samples Results: Among 1,880 HCWs, 35.21% (662) reported receiving influenza vaccination since June 2024, and 10.43% reported clinician-diagnosed influenza. Before the 2025 influenza season, 57.61% reported willingness to be vaccinated. Objective knowledge was suboptimal: 45.05% correctly identified the time to develop protective antibodies (2-4 weeks), and 43.72% correctly identified the duration of protection (at least 6 months). Belief scores increased with higher education and professional title ( Conclusion: Influenza vaccination coverage among HCWs in Chengdu MCH institutions remained suboptimal in the post-pandemic period, with a clear intention-behavior gap. Uptake was associated with more favorable beliefs, higher willingness, older age, higher education, and institutional/departmental and occupational factors. Targeted strategies to strengthen confidence, improve access and convenience, and tailor interventions to specific departments and job categories are needed to increase coverage.
