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

Introduction: Recently, a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine was approved and recommended for pregnant women in Saudi Arabia. Data are needed regarding pregnant women's awareness of RSV infection and their acceptance of the RSV vaccine. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess the awareness and acceptance of antenatal RSV vaccines among postpartum women in Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at two hospitals in Al-Madinah, Saudi Arabia. A validated 13-item questionnaire was used, including questions regarding demographic data, awareness of RSV infection, and acceptance of the antenatal RSV vaccine. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between demographic data and awareness and acceptance of the antenatal RSV vaccine. Results: Among 400 postpartum women (mean age, 30 years; range, 18-44 years), 51% were aware of RSV infection. Most provided correct answers regarding the mode of RSV transmission (72.5%). Approximately 40% of the participants perceived the seriousness of the RSV infection to be high for infants after delivery. Acceptance for receiving the RSV vaccine was moderate (58%). Compared with high school or lower educational level, university or higher education was associated with lower acceptance of the RSV vaccine (odds ratio, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-0.93). Conclusions: Despite moderate awareness of RSV infection, maternal acceptance of the antenatal RSV vaccine among highly educated women was lower than that among women with a lower education level. This low acceptance rate highlights the need for future studies to evaluate the actual uptake of antenatal RSV vaccination among highly educated women.
