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: The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted global health, with vaccine hesitancy emerging as a major obstacle to controlling the disease. Despite the availability of effective vaccines, many individuals remain reluctant to receive them. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine intention among the community in Motta town, Ethiopia, using the theory of planned behavior. Objectives: To assess intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among the community in Motta town, North West Ethiopia. Method: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 630 unvaccinated adults in Motta town, North West Ethiopia, from May 15 to June 15, 2022. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected by using interviewer-administered questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. In the final model, a confidence interval (95%) and a Result: Overall, 310 (49.2%; 95% CI: 45.2%-53.0%) participants intended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The mean score of intention was 12.38 with SD ± 5.300. Religion (Muslim) ( Conclusion: Approximately half of the unvaccinated community members intended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Religion, educational status, attitude, subjective norm, and PBC were significant predictors of vaccination intention. Public health interventions should focus on improving positive attitudes, strengthening community support for vaccination, enhancing individuals' confidence in accessing vaccination, and addressing access-related barriers to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
