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: The approval of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines and obtaining herd immunity raise the optimism about seeing the end of this pandemic but vaccine hesitancy or refusal to vaccinate is a major threat to progress toward achieving herd immunity. In this study, we identify baseline knowledge, myths, misconceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward the COVID-19 vaccine. This help to develop new strategies to raise awareness, correct misconceptions and improve acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. This study aim is to evaluate the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among population in Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted among target people who were more than 11 years old in Qassim Region of Saudi Arabia using the snowball sample study. A self-administered online questionnaire was used that evaluates the knowledge and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine among this population. Results: The results show that the participants' high knowledge of COVID-19 translates into good and safe practices, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health workers worldwide should concentrate on enlightening and building faith among the unsure and reluctant population regarding security, effectiveness, and adverse effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Conclusions: The study findings are useful to the policymakers and healthcare professionals who are working on vaccine awareness programs of COVID-19. The findings conclude that the health education interventions should be directed to population of Qassim, Saudi Arabia, at high risk of contracting COVID-19.
