Adaptation and validation of the Turkish version of the vaccine hesitancy 5 point Likert Scale.

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
The decrease in vaccine acceptance has been recognized as an emerging public health problem and there is therefore a need for reliable and validated tools that identify vaccine hesitancy. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Turkish version of the Vaccine Hesitancy 5-point Likert Scale which was originally developed by the WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization. The study was carried out in a Family Health Center (FHC) in Istanbul over the period June 1-November 30, 2020. The participants were parents who had applied to the FHC for well-child visits and had a child ≤18 months of age. After the process of translation and back-translation, the Turkish version was pilot-tested, and its test-retest reliability was evaluated among 40 parents at a two-week interval. The validation was carried out with 306 parents through exploratory factor analysis. There was no statistical difference between the test-retest scores (
