Post-Vaccination COVID-19 Infection among Health Care Workers: Description, Determinants, and Event-History Analysis.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. 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
Background: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of COVID-19 exposure. Although vaccination reduces the risk of infection and its severity, breakthrough infections may still occur due to individual, and occupational factors. This study assessed the incidence, determinants, and time to post-vaccination COVID-19 infection among HCWs in a tertiary care hospital in Bhopal, India. Methods: An Ambi-directional cohort study was conducted from September 2021 to July 2022 with a 6-month follow-up after the second vaccine dose. An event-history (time-to-event) approach using Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to evaluate determinants, adjusting for temporal variations in infection risk. Results: The incidence density of post-vaccination infection was 10.64 per 100 person-years (95% CI: 7.53-13.75). Doctors (27.2) and nurses (15.7) had higher incidence densities than other staff. The median time to infection was 76 days. Older age (>30 years) was associated with lower risk (adjusted HR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15-0.79), while longer working hours increased risk (adjusted HR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.07-1.52). Immediate care providers showed an increased risk, though not statistically significant. All infections were mild, with no hospitalizations. Conclusions: Post-vaccination COVID-19 infections among HCWs were infrequent and mild, with risk varying by occupational exposure. These findings highlight the need for continued risk mitigation in higher-exposure groups while reinforcing the protective effect of vaccination against severe disease.
