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

Our study aims to assess the uptake of COVID-19 vaccination and its associated factors among Chinese college students. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 18 May to 17 June 2022. A total of 3916 participants were included. The coverage of the first dose, complete vaccination and booster vaccination among college students was 99.49%, 81.96% and 79.25%, respectively. College students with an older age (AOR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.57-0.90), non-medical major (0.47, 0.37-0.61) and studying in north-east China (0.35, 0.22-0.58) were less likely to complete vaccination. Individuals who were female (1.62, 1.35-1.94) and received a recombinant subunit vaccine (8.05, 5.21-12.45) were more likely to complete vaccination. Non-medical students (0.56, 0.43-0.73) and students studying in north-east China (0.28, 0.16-0.49) were less likely to receive a booster dose, while female students (1.51, 1.23-1.85) had a higher likelihood. The main reason for being unvaccinated was "contraindication" (75.00%), and the main reason for not receiving a booster dose was "being too busy to attend to it" (61.37%). This study demonstrated a high adherence to the COVID-19 vaccination policy among Chinese college students. Targeted strategies should be applied to remove barriers to COVID-19 vaccination among college students.
