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

Purpose: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy exists in communities of color who are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. In many states, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHs/PIs) experience the highest rates of COVID-19 confirmed cases and mortality among U.S. ethnic/racial groups. National trends regarding vaccine hesitancy among NHs/PIs are currently lacking. Methods: Data were derived from the Asian American and NH/PI COVID-19 Needs Assessment Project, a national survey conducted during January-April 2021. The final analytic sample included 868 NH/PI adults. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to estimate odds ratios for vaccine hesitancy. Results: Vaccine hesitancy ranged from 23% among Other PIs to 56.3% among Tongan adults. Younger adults (18-24 and 25-44 years), those with lower educational attainment, and those with lower income were more vaccine hesitant. Overall, education and income showed a strong association with vaccine hesitancy in bivariate logistic models. However, the associations between vaccine hesitancy and education and income varied by NH/PI groups. NHs, Samoans, and Multiethnic NHs/PIs showed the most consistent associations between the socioeconomic position variables and vaccine hesitancy. Conclusions: The examination of vaccine hesitancy among NHs/PIs follows the socioeconomic gradient for some ethnic groups but not others. More studies are needed to determine what other socioeconomic indicators may be associated with health among specific NH/PI ethnic groups. Policy Implications: Reforms are needed to overcome structural racism underlying NH/PI evidence production, which currently renders NHs/PIs invisible. Innovative solutions based on successful community efforts can help deconstruct racist data inequities experienced by NHs/PIs.
