SARS-CoV-2 vaccine uptake, knowledge and attitude among health workers in Nairobi, Kenya: a quantitative study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is having, and will continue to have, devastating indirect consequences, particularly in developing countries. Understanding vaccine acceptance, knowledge, and attitudes among healthcare workers is crucial, as they influence public opinion, community uptake, and vaccination decision-making. This study aimed to identify variables associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine uptake, knowledge, and attitude among health workers in level 2 and 3 facilities in Nairobi, Kenya. Methods: A quantitative questionnaire was distributed to healthcare workers, and chi-square tests, Fisher's exact tests, Results: Vaccine uptake was significantly associated with knowledge index ( Discussion: Despite high vaccination uptake and generally positive attitudes, essential knowledge gaps regarding COVID-19 vaccines persist. The knowledge gaps include COVID-19 vaccine myths such as believing that, or being unsure whether, the vaccine can alter genes, increase autoimmune diseases, or cause COVID-19 disease to the receiver. These findings highlight the importance of addressing vaccine misconceptions and improving health literacy to strengthen vaccination strategies and pandemic preparedness among primary health workers.
