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

COVID-19 vaccination rates have been suboptimal in frontline healthcare assistants (HCAs). We sought to characterize contributors to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HCAs. We conducted an analysis of online survey responses from members of the National Association of Health Care Assistants from December 2020-January 2021. Respondents were asked what it would take for them to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Responses from 309 HCAs were coded to characterize respondents' willingness to be vaccinated and identify contributors to vaccine hesitancy. Approximately 60% (n = 185) of HCAs expressed hesitancy but would consider getting vaccinated under certain circumstances. We identified 8 overarching themes for contributors to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, the most common being safety concerns (70% of respondents). Others included efficacy (11.4%), workplace requirements (9.7%), societal influence (9.2%), and compensation (8.1%). Interventions to increase vaccine uptake among HCAs may be most effective by addressing concerns regarding the short-term and long-term safety implications of COVID-19 vaccines.
