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
purposeThis study is aimed at evaluating postpartum women's vaccination status in two major maternity hospitals in Athens, Greece, and identifying demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors influencing vaccine acceptance.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted at Leto General Hospital and Alexandra Hospital. Postpartum women completed a questionnaire covering demographics, obstetric history, vaccination status (COVID-19, tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis [Tdap], influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus [RSV]), and reasons for vaccine acceptance or refusal. Data were analyzed to assess the potential factors associated with vaccination uptake.
resultsA total of 725 postpartum women participated (Site 1: 531, Site 2: 194; median age: 34 years). Overall, 51.2% received at least one vaccine during pregnancy, with the highest uptake observed for Tdap (42.5%), followed by influenza (19.6%) and COVID-19 vaccination (3.6%). RSV vaccination was negligible (< 1%). Influenza vaccination was significantly higher in Site 1 (22.2%) compared with Site 2 (12.4%, p < 0.001), whereas uptake rates for the other vaccines did not differ significantly between sites. Key barriers to vaccination included lack of physician advice (Site 1: 29.0%, Site 2: 18.6%), personal choice (Site 1: 12.4%, Site 2: 14.9%), and safety concerns, which were more prevalent in Site 2. Higher educational attainment and urban residence remained independently associated with vaccine uptake, after adjustment for potential confounding factors.
conclusionMaternal immunization in Greece still remains a great challenge, since only 14.62% of the studied sample received multiple vaccines. Enhancing immunization strategies necessitates targeted interventions that address provider-patient communication, systemic barriers, and perceptions of vaccine safety in order to improve adherence to recommended vaccination schedules.
