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
backgroundHepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major occupational health hazard among healthcare personnel (HCP). In India, 40 million people are chronically affected despite the availability of effective vaccinations. Hence, this study focuses on assessing the vaccination coverage and identifying the determinants of hepatitis B vaccine uptake among HCPs in South India.
objectiveTo estimate the Hepatitis B vaccination coverage and identify factors associated with Hepatitis B vaccination uptake among HCP in Chengalpattu district. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of three months at primary healthcare institutions in the Chengalpattu district. A total of 270 HCP were selected through stratified random sampling, and data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire after reviewing similar work in the literature. The collected data were entered into MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Logistic regression analysis was used to test the factors influencing Hepatitis B vaccination, and a
resultsA total of 270 HCP participated in the study. The mean age ± standard deviation (SD) of the HCP was 35.78 ± 10.8. Most participants were between 21 and 40 years old (186, 68.9%). About 227 (84.1%) were females. Of the study participants, 98 (36.6%) had received complete Hepatitis B vaccination (three doses), of whom 12 (4.4%) had also received complete vaccination along with booster doses. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified marital status (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 0.413; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.234-0.730;
conclusionsIn this study, only one-third of the participants were completely vaccinated against hepatitis B. Thus, improving targeted educational interventions, access to vaccination services, and strengthening institutional policies will improve vaccination coverage among HCP.
