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: Healthcare workers are a priority group for influenza vaccination and play an important role in recommending vaccination to patients. However, the relationships among influenza vaccine knowledge, vaccination uptake, future vaccination intention, and recommendation behavior remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine these associations and their behavioral pathway relationships among healthcare workers in Shijingshan District, Beijing. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in January 2026 among healthcare workers from medical institutions in Shijingshan District, Beijing. Of 4,366 respondents, 4,238 valid questionnaires were included in the final analysis. Data were collected on influenza vaccine-related knowledge, vaccination uptake during the current influenza season, intention to receive influenza vaccination in the next influenza season, and recommendation behavior toward patients. Logistic regression analyses were used to identify associated factors, and SEM-based path analysis was performed to examine the direct and indirect associations among influenza vaccine-related knowledge, vaccination uptake, future vaccination intention, and recommendation behavior. Results: Among the 4,238 participants, 22.1% received influenza vaccination during the current influenza season, 43.7% intended to be vaccinated in the next influenza season, and 82.0% reported recommending influenza vaccination to patients. Logistic regression analyses showed that knowledge score, training/publicity, free vaccination policy, institutional support, and prior vaccination were significantly associated with vaccination uptake, future vaccination intention, and recommendation behavior. The SEM-based path analysis model showed a good fit (CFI = 0.957, TLI = 0.941, RMSEA = 0.041, SRMR = 0.036). Knowledge score was positively associated with vaccination uptake ( Conclusion: Influenza vaccine-related behaviors among healthcare workers followed a progressive behavioral pathway from knowledge to vaccination uptake, then to future vaccination intention, and finally to recommendation behavior. Interventions targeting knowledge, institutional support, and actual vaccination uptake may provide evidence for developing targeted interventions among healthcare workers in similar settings.
