Low acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccination and reduced quality of life among heart transplant recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Journal of cardiac surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesTo investigate the impact of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the quality of life (QoL) and status of COVID-19 vaccination in heart transplant recipients (HTRs).
methodsPatients who underwent allogeneic heart transplants between June 2006 and December 2019, who survived were selected from a follow-up registration form at our center. Data were collected using questionnaires in 2021, the QoL survey was conducted using the MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and compared to the same time frame in 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: post-epidemic (A) and pre-epidemic (B) groups. We also recorded whether the participants had been vaccinated against COVID-19 (Beijing Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine). All the data obtained were analyzed.
resultsThere were 88 patients who participated in the study. Only 12 (13.6%) were vaccinated. In terms of SF-36 scale assessments, after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Group A scored lower in vitality [52.5(49.0, 58.0) vs. 75.0(69.0, 79.0), p < .001], social functioning [54.0(50.5, 58.0) vs. 74.0(67.5, 78.0), p < .001], role emotional [58.5(55.0, 62.0) vs. 67.0(63.0, 71.0), p < .001], and mental health [58.5(55.0, 62.0) vs. 76.0(72.0, 79.0), p < .001]. In Group A the mental component summary (MCS) significantly decreased [222.0(214.5, 230.0) vs. 289.0(277.5, 299.5), p < .001]. The PCS and MCS of HTRs who had been vaccinated against COVID-19 were significantly higher than those who had not [PCS: 283.5(280.0, 287.0) vs. 276.0(271.0, 279.0), p < .001; MCS: 245.0(141.5, 254.0) vs. 220.0(213.5, 226.5), p < .001].
conclusionLow acceptance levels of COVID-19 vaccination were observed in the HTRs. The QoL of the HTRs decreased after the COVID-19 pandemic.
