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

introductionPatients on dialysis (HDPs) are a category at high risk from COVID-19 and thus a high-priority group for vaccination. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy has been a concern since the availability of the first vaccine. The objective of this study was to determine hesitancy rates and factors associated with hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination in HDP.

methodsHDP were surveyed with an

resultsA total of 417 patients (average age 69 years, 60% men) agreed to answer the questionnaire. Hesitancy was associated with younger age (

conclusionsHDPs have a good understanding of the risks associated with COVID-19. Vaccine hesitancy was not associated with educational level, age, or gender but rather with lack of confidence in vaccine efficacy and concerns about safety. HDPs were quite skeptical about the health care system but generally trusted scientists.
