Parental Acceptance, Parental Hesitancy, and Uptake of Seasonal Influenza Vaccination among Children Aged 6-59 Months: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Vaccines, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
This systematic review and meta-analysis summarises the literature on parental acceptance, parental hesitancy, uptake, and the associated factors of seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) among children aged 6-59 months. Studies were sourced from the following platforms: PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases. A random-effects model was used to evaluate the prevalence and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of parental acceptance, parental hesitancy, and SIV uptake in the last flu season and lifetime among children. A total of 36 studies were included for analysis. The overall prevalence was 64% for parental acceptance (95% CI: 51-75%), 34% for parental hesitancy (95% CI: 22-48%), 41% for SIV uptake in the last flu season (95% CI: 33-50%), and 46% for SIV uptake in a lifetime (95% CI: 20-74%). Associated factors of parental acceptance/hesitancy and uptake included the age of the children or parents, parental education level, household income level, ethnicity, and other modifiable factors, including perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, and cues to action related to SIV. Meta-regression analyses revealed regional differences in parental acceptance (Americas: 79% vs. Asia: 60%). The results provided implications informing us of the development of intervention programs targeting parents to improve SIV coverage among young children.
