Narrative communication regarding the Covid-19 vaccine: a thematic analysis of comments on Romanian official Facebook page "RO Vaccinare".
Article in SN social sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
As of October 2021, Romania is one of the world's most affected countries by Covid-19 pandemic, and this occurs on the background of a very slow rate of vaccination. Drawing on the sociology of storytelling, this article highlights various narratives that make the vaccination campaign in Romania difficult. Based on a case study on Romanian official vaccination page "RO Vaccinare," a thematic analysis on six official narratives and subsequent 137 comments post on the official page highlighted both pro-vaccination narratives and anti-vaccination narratives. The two main narratives reflect different persuasive strategies, so the role of communication experts is vital in avoiding other further mis/disinformation. For example, pro-vaccination narratives repeatedly call for education as the most important variable, given that the detachment from conspiracy theories requires a certain level of socialization in this regard. In addition, the 'science versus religion' dichotomy is frequently discussed, with religion being seen as an obstacle to awareness of the role of a vaccination campaign. On the other hand, the motivations invoked in the anti-vaccination narratives discuss the vaccine as an 'experimental serum,' while the doctors who administer it are considered 'killers.' Also, some of the narratives in this category consider religion to be above science in terms of public health.
