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

backgroundTo evaluate the validity and reliability of a survey to identify vaccine hesitancy among parents.

methodsCross-sectional survey of parents of 19-35 month old children was conducted in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province, through a questionnaire developed for the survey of the vaccine hesitancy. Construct validity was assessed by linking parental responses to their child's immunization record. The association between mean% of days of under-immunization and the parental socio-demographics and the individual item response was explored via the univariate and multivariate analyses. Factor analysis was applied to confirm survey sub-domains and Cronbach's α to determine the internal consistency reliability of sub-domain scales.

resultsWe approached 336 households while 285 of them agreed to participate in this study. Education level and the parental 'score of vaccination hesitancy' were significantly associated with the mean% of days of under-immunization. Cronbach's coefficients for the 3 sub-domain scales created by re-grouping the questionnaire's items were 0.71, 0.83, and 0.72, respectively.

conclusionsThe survey represented a valid and reliable instrument to identify VHPs and it could help to screen parents to receive an intervention aimed at increasing acceptance of vaccinations.
