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
(1) Introduction: Patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) face a higher infectious risk compared to the general population. As per the ACR and EULAR recommendations, vaccinations against influenza, COVID-19, pneumococci, and tetanus are recommended for most patients with AIIRD. (2) Objectives: This study aimed to assess vaccination coverage among Polish AIIRD patients and identify factors influencing it. (3) Patients and Methods: This study was conducted at the reference rheumatological center in Poland between May 2023 and October 2023. The study participants completed a questionnaire covering their knowledge of vaccination recommendations, actual vaccination status, factors affecting their decision to vaccinate, and their perspectives on immunization. (4) Results: This study involved 300 AIIRD patients and 60 controls. Both groups exhibited comparably low vaccination rates for all diseases (the highest for COVID-19-52% in both groups and the lowest for pneumococci-7.7% and 10%, respectively). Knowledge about recommended vaccinations was limited among patients in both groups. AIIRD patients were also not aware that they should avoid live vaccines. The primary motivators for vaccination among AIIRD patients were fear of infection (up to 75%) and medical advice (up to 74.6%). Conversely, the predominant reasons for non-vaccination were a lack of knowledge that vaccination is recommended (up to 74.7%) and concerns about potential adverse effects (up to 48.6%). Many patients reported not receiving vaccination recommendations from either primary care physicians or rheumatologists. (5) Conclusions: To enhance vaccination coverage among AIIRD patients in Poland, it is essential to educate them about vaccinations during routine medical consultations, emphasizing the increased risk of infection, informing them about recommended vaccinations, and clarifying doubts about adverse effects.
