Predictors of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy in China: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThis study aimed to examine predictors and moderators of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Chinese cultural contexts. STUDY
designA meta-analysis and meta-regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between predictors and vaccine hesitancy as well as moderators that may impact these associations.
methodsWe searched relevant articles from January 1, 2020, to May 12, 2022, in the databases of Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global and CNKI. Weighted average effect sizes (e.g., odds ratio) and 95% confidence intervals were computed in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 using random-effects models. Heterogeneity tests were conducted prior to moderation analyses.
resultsResults from 161 studies in 73 published articles (N = 705,957) were meta-analyzed. Perceived risk of COVID-19 infection, health status, medical workers' recommendation, recommendations from family and friends, and vaccine coverage among relatives and friends were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Chinese cultural contexts. Participant age, operationalization of vaccine hesitancy, and the time of each study exerted significant moderation effects.
conclusionsBoth individual and relational factors influence vaccine hesitancy in Chinese cultural contexts Future vaccine promotion initiatives should focus on risk perceptions as well as influence from medical professionals, family and friends.
