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: This study aimed to investigate the intention-action discrepancy in influenza vaccination and identify factors associated with vaccination behavior among healthcare professionals. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted with healthcare professionals at a hospital in Chengdu, China from May to June 2025. Stratified convenience sampling was used. Data concerning respondents' sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of influenza and vaccines, and perceptions of and attitudes toward vaccination were collected. The chi-square test was performed for comparisons between intentions and actions. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors associated with healthcare professionals' vaccination behavior. Results: A total of 570 questionnaires were distributed, and 547 (95.95%) valid responses were collected. Among the 547 healthcare professionals, 316 (57.77%) intended to be vaccinated, and 251 (45.89%) were vaccinated during the previous influenza season. Having the intention to be vaccinated but not being vaccinated during the previous influenza season was considered an intention-action discrepancy. Among the 316 healthcare professionals who intended to be vaccinated, 96 were not vaccinated, indicating an intention-action discrepancy rate of 30.38%. Healthcare professionals who intended to be vaccinated but were not vaccinated accounted for 17.55% (96/547) of the participants finally included in the study. Professional title (odds ratio (OR) = 1.421, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.079-1.872), hospital department type (OR = 0.467, 95% CI: 0.312-0.698), mastery of knowledge about influenza and vaccines (OR = 1.874, 95% CI: 1.256-2.807), concerns about severe adverse reactions following vaccination (OR = 2.479, 95% CI: 1.646-3.733), opinion on the statement that receiving an influenza vaccine is an effective way to reduce the incidence of severe influenza (OR = 0.427, 95% CI: 0.214-0.852), and awareness of the hospital's free or convenient vaccination services (OR = 0.217, 95% CI: 0.126-0.374) were major factors associated with healthcare professionals' vaccination behavior (all Conclusion: A
