Temporal shifts in public perceptions of influenza and its vaccine before, during, and after COVID-19 in a fragile nation.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSince the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, co-infection with COVID-19 and influenza has been associated with adverse health and economic outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced public perception of infections, including influenza, and acceptance of its vaccine.
objectivesTo assess temporal shifts in public knowledge of influenza and attitudes toward its vaccine before (Phase-I), during (Phase-II), and after (Phase-III) the COVID-19 pandemic in Yemen, a low-income, fragile nation.
methodsA survey questionnaire was distributed to the public in Yemen, and a total of 1,856 participants completed the survey (Phase-I = 433, Phase-II = 981, Phase-III = 442).
resultsThere was an overall increase in influenza awareness in Phases-II and III compared to Phase-I. This rise was paralleled by a change in the source from which participants gathered information about influenza. Although awareness increased, a decline in future influenza vaccine acceptance was observed. However, participants in Phases II and III showed greater willingness to receive the vaccine if it was endorsed by the government and doctors, confirmed to be safe and effective, and provided at no cost by the authorities. Logistic regression and machine-learning models highlighted predictors of high influenza awareness and future vaccine acceptance among participants in each phase.
conclusionThe findings illustrate vaccine behaviour dynamics in a fragile country across the pandemic timeline and provide actionable insights for health authorities for designing effective vaccination campaigns and implementing vaccination policies tailored to the unique challenges faced during pandemics and health crises.
