SARS-CoV-2 vaccine uptake and reasons for hesitancy among Canadian pregnant people: a prospective cohort study.
Article in CMAJ open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundSeveral vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been developed and approved at an unparalleled speed. Given that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are recommended to pregnant people, our aim was to quantify vaccination uptake, and describe vaccination hesitancy and behavioural attitudes surrounding SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in pregnancy in Canada.
methodsThe CONCEPTION study is an ongoing international study started in June 2020, evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of pregnant people and their children. For this study, pregnant people recruited from Apr. 20, 2021, to Feb. 8, 2022, and residing in Canada were invited to complete a Web-based survey. In addition to all CONCEPTION variables, data on vaccine uptake as well as personal knowledge of COVID-19 severity in pregnancy and of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine safety and efficacy were collected. Marginal risk differences and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to assess determinants of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination during pregnancy.
resultsFrom Apr. 20, 2021, to Feb. 8, 2022, 603 pregnant people were recruited and gave consent, of which 83.7% (
interpretationAmong the Canadian pregnant people who responded to this study, vaccine uptake against SARS-CoV-2 was high. However, our results underscore the importance of improving knowledge transfer about the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in pregnancy to guide vaccination efforts.
