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
Objective: This study aims to examine the prevalence of influenza vaccine hesitancy and its associated factors among community-dwelling older adults in Shihezi, Xinjiang, thereby informing evidence-based strategies to enhance influenza vaccine uptake in older adults. Methods: A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey among 1,540 community-dwelling older adults in Shihezi City, Xinjiang, in July 2023. Chi-square tests, univariate analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to examine the factors associated with influenza vaccine hesitancy among older adults. Results: Among the 1,474 older adults who completed the survey with valid responses, the prevalence of influenza vaccine hesitancy was 54.5% (804/1474). Univariate analysis showed that age, marital status, chronic diseases, self-rated health, knowledge of influenza and influenza vaccines, perceptions of vaccine efficacy and safety, recommendations from healthcare providers, prior vaccination history, and certain subscale scores of the 5C scale were significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy ( Conclusion: Influenza vaccine hesitancy among community-dwelling older adults in Shihezi, Xinjiang, is affected by multiple factors. To reduce hesitancy and increase vaccination coverage, targeted education on influenza and vaccines should be implemented to improve disease risk awareness and vaccine confidence, along with enhanced vaccination recommendations from healthcare providers.
