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

To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding herpes zoster (HZ) and its vaccination among rheumatologists in China. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted between April 1 and May 31, 2025, using the Questionnaire Star online platform. The questionnaire assessed sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of HZ and its vaccine (via a 13-item scale), attitudes and behaviors regarding vaccination, and willingness to disseminate information. Ordinal logistic regression was applied to identify associated factors of knowledge scores, while subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate attitude-related factors. A total of 1,772 rheumatologists from a wide range of provinces participated (mean age: 41.4 y; 67.3% female). Regarding professional background, most held a master's degree (44.1%), followed by a bachelor's (38.9%) and doctoral degree (17.0%). Clinical titles were distributed as associate chief (31.3%), chief (26.4%), attending (26.2%), and junior physicians (16.0%). The median knowledge score was 7 (IQR: 6-9). Multivariable analysis revealed that higher regional GDP per capita (β = 0.020,
