Determinants of parental vaccine hesitancy.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
questionWe engage parents on a daily basis in the office to discuss immunization for their children, and some of them are hesitant about vaccination. Discussing the importance of vaccines for the child and the public, and reviewing the safety of vaccines has not led to substantial increases in acceptance in our office. What factors influence a parent's views of vaccines, and how can we effectively address them in practice? ANSWER: Despite medical acceptance of vaccines and widespread accessibility, many Canadian children do not receive all their vaccines, and parental hesitancy has increased in the past 30 years. Thus, family physicians play an important role in addressing concerns that parents might have about vaccines and in increasing vaccine uptake. Determinants of vaccine hesitancy are heterogeneous and multifactorial. Factors that affect vaccine decision making include the perceived risks of vaccines, the relationship between parents and health care providers, and the social norm of vaccination. Communication strategies such as motivational interviewing and using presumptive language are valuable tools to increase vaccine uptake in children with vaccine-hesitant parents.
