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

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is a new phenomenon in Syria, about which relatively little is known. We aimed to explore this, drawing from 37 semi-structured interviews with frontline health-workers and service-users across Syria's major military areas-of-control. We found COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was common and increasing among service-users and less common, but still present, among health-workers in all areas. Interrelated reasons included pragmatic fears of novel vaccine risks, unreliable information, and conflict-related hesitancies as a form of resistance or reasserting some perceived control, particularly outside Al-Assad government-controlled areas. Vaccine hesitancy has thus become a socio-political issue, requiring macro-level responses, across Syria.
