Vaccine literacy is undervalued.

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
Despite weak health literacy is considered a concause of vaccine hesitancy, it is rarely taken into account when discussing about this subject. The association between health literacy skills and vaccine acceptance has been shown to be uneven when using general measures, also depending on the population settings and type of vaccine considered. Vaccine literacy has been built on the same idea of health literacy, but very few specific measuring tools have been developed until now. It is desirable that more of these instruments are validated and extensively used with the objective of assessing peoples' vaccine literacy skills and defining interventions aimed at their improvement.
