Complete Hepatitis B Vaccination Among Health Care Professionals in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Primary Evidence.
Review in SAGE open nursing. 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
Background: Despite the critical importance of HBV vaccination and Ethiopia's high burden of infection, no recent comprehensive review has synthesized data on vaccination coverage and its associated factors among Ethiopian healthcare workers. Objective: This study aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of complete Hepatitis B Virus vaccination coverage among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia. Methods: We searched primary articles across several databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, African Journals Online, and the Global Health database. Article screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. We thoroughly assessed heterogeneity and publication bias, and performed subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and trim-and-fill analysis. The pooled estimate for full vaccination coverage among healthcare professionals was calculated using a random-effects model with a 95% CI. Results: Following a rigorous selection process, 18 primary articles involving a total of 6,167 participants were included in the final analysis. The pooled prevalence of complete vaccination against the Hepatitis B virus was found to be 29.90% (95% CI: 21.53-38.26), with considerable heterogeneity observed across the included studies (I Conclusion: The pooled prevalence of complete Hepatitis B virus vaccination among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia remains suboptimal. Initiatives focused on encouraging vaccination, empowering healthcare workers with knowledge, and ensuring the vaccine is accessible and provided free of charge are recommended.
