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

objectivesLow uptake of COVID vaccines within Black communities is a concern given the stark racial inequities associated with the pandemic. Prior research details COVID vaccine perceptions within the general population and Black communities specifically. However, Black individuals with long COVID may be more or less receptive to future COVID vaccination than their peers without long COVID. The impact of COVID vaccination on long COVID symptoms is still controversial, since some studies suggest that vaccination can improve long COVID symptoms, whereas other studies report no significant change in symptoms or a worsening of symptoms. In this study, we aimed to characterize the factors influencing perceptions of COVID vaccines among Black adults with long COVID to inform future vaccine-related policies and interventions.

designWe conducted 15 semi-structured, race-concordant interviews over Zoom with adults who reported physical or mental health symptoms that lingered for a month or more after acute COVID infection. We transcribed and anonymized the interviews and implemented inductive, thematic analysis to identify factors influencing COVID vaccine perceptions and the vaccine decision-making process.

resultsWe identified five themes that influenced vaccine perceptions: (1) Vaccine safety and efficacy; (2) Social implications of vaccination status; (3) Navigating and interpreting vaccine-related information; (4) Possibility of abuse and exploitation by the government and scientific community; and (5) Long COVID status. Safety concerns were amplified by long COVID status and mistrust in social systems due to mistreatment of the Black community.

conclusionsAmong the factors influencing COVID vaccine perceptions, participants reported a desire to avoid reinfection and a negative immune response. As COVID reinfection and long COVID become more common, achieving adequate uptake of COVID vaccines and boosters may require approaches that are tailored in partnership with the long COVID patient community.
