Influence of provider recommendations to restart vaccines after childhood cancer on caregiver intention to vaccinate.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
purposeWe studied the influence of oncology and primary care provider (PCP) recommendations on caregiver intentions to restart vaccines (e.g., catch-up or boosters) after cancer treatment.
methodsWe surveyed primary caregivers ages 18 or older with a child who had completed cancer treatment 3-36 months prior (N = 145) about demographics, child's vaccination status, and healthcare factors (e.g., provider recommendations, barriers, preferences for vaccination). We compared these factors by caregiver's intention to restart vaccines ("vaccine intention" vs. "no intent to vaccinate") using bivariate and multivariable analyses.
resultsCaregivers were primarily ages 30-39 years (54.9%), mothers (80.6%), college graduates (44.4%), non-Hispanic (89.2%), and married (88.2%). Overall, 34.5% of caregivers did not know which vaccines their child needed. However, 65.5% of caregivers reported vaccine intention. Fewer caregivers with no intention to vaccinate believed that vaccinating their child helps protect others (85.4 vs. 99.0%, p < 0.01), that vaccines are needed when diseases are rare (83.7 vs. 100.0%, p < 0.01), and that vaccines are safe (80.4 vs. 92.6%, p = 0.03) and effective (91.5 vs. 98.9%, p = 0.04) compared with vaccine intention caregivers, respectively. Provider recommendations increased caregivers' likelihood of vaccine intention (oncologist RR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.27-2.12, p < 0.01; PCP RR = 1.51, 95% CI 1.19-1.94, p < 0.01).
conclusionsProvider recommendations positively influence caregivers' intention to restart vaccines after childhood cancer. Guidelines are needed to support providers in making tailored vaccine recommendations. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Timely vaccination after childhood cancer protects patients against vaccine-preventable diseases during survivorship. Caregivers may benefit from discussing restarting vaccinations after cancer with healthcare providers.
