Inequities in COVID-19 vaccination coverage for adolescents with and without disability, national immunization Survey-Child COVID module, July 22, 2021-February 26, 2022.
Article in Disability and health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSome people with disabilities are likely at increased risk of health impacts from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
objectiveTo describe parent-reported COVID-19 vaccination status of adolescents (aged 13-17 years) and parental intent to get their child vaccinated, among adolescents with versus without disability.
methodsNational Immunization Survey-Child COVID Module data from interviews conducted July 22, 2021-February 26, 2022, were analyzed to assess disability status and type and COVID-19 vaccination status for adolescents (n = 12,445). Prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals were calculated; T-tests were conducted.
resultsA lower percentage of adolescents with disability received ≥1 dose of COVID-19 vaccine compared to adolescents without disability (52.5% vs. 58.6%), [those with cognition (50.8%) or not performing errands independently (49.5%) disabilities were significantly lower]; and a higher percentage of parents reported intent to definitely vaccinate (9.9% vs. 6.5%) and definitely not vaccinate (14.9% vs. 11.8%) their adolescent. Among the unvaccinated adolescents, parents of those with disability were more likely to report difficulty getting their child vaccinated (19.1% vs. 12.9%), inconvenient vaccination-site operating hours (7.6% vs. 3.9%), difficulty knowing where to get their child vaccinated (7.2% vs. 2.7%), and difficulty getting to vaccination sites (6.0% vs. 3.0%), than parents of those without disability.
conclusionsAdolescents with disability had lower vaccination coverage compared to adolescents without disability. Parents of adolescents with disability reported higher intent to get their adolescents vaccinated, but among unvaccinated adolescents with disability, parents reported greater difficulty in accessing COVID-19 vaccines. Findings highlight the need for prioritized outreach to increase COVID-19 vaccination for this population.
