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

Background: Caregiver hesitancy for their children to receive the COVID-19 vaccine remains due to concerns regarding safety and efficacy, but also due to fear of vaccine administration-related pain and distress. Study objectives were to determine caregivers' perceptions regarding both their personal and child's COVID-19 vaccine administration-related stress and fear and relate this to their likelihood to allow their child to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis of a multicentre, cross-sectional survey of caregivers presenting to four Canadian pediatric emergency departments. Caregivers were surveyed between December 2020 and March 2021 and completed a digital survey on their own smartphones. Results: 331 caregivers responded to the survey (mean age 39.9 years [SD 7.71]); 74.2% (245/331) were mothers. Children's mean age was 8.8 years [SD 5.4]; 49.8% (165/331) were female. 64.1% (209/326) of caregivers were willing to vaccinate their child against COVID-19, while 35.9% (117/326) were not. Greater perceived COVID-19 vaccine administration-related pain (0.88 [0.80; 0.95], Conclusions: During the time period between COVID-19 pandemic waves 2 and 3, and after the vaccine had been federally approved for adults, one-third of Canadian caregivers surveyed reported being unwilling to vaccinate their child against COVID-19 in the future. Managing children's and caregivers' vaccine administration-related fear and stress may improve vaccine uptake for children.
