The Relationship between Depression and COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake and Intention among Korean Adults: The 2021 Community Health Survey.

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
Individuals with depressive symptoms are vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and mortality; therefore, their vaccination status must be investigated to reduce these rates. This study investigated the association between depressive symptoms and COVID-19 vaccine uptake and intention and identified the reasons for vaccine avoidance. Data were collected from the 2021 Korea Community Health Survey and analyzed using logistic regression. A statistically significant association was found between the presence of depressive symptoms and no COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Among individuals who reported experiencing depression, 4.6% were unvaccinated and 7.7% reported no intention to get vaccinated. Among the unvaccinated, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for depression was 1.53 (95% confidence interval: 1.45-1.61) compared to the vaccinated. Similarly, a significant association was observed between depressive symptoms and no intention to get vaccinated. In the group with no vaccine intention, the aOR for depression was 2.06 (95% CI: 1.86-2.27) compared to the group with vaccine intention. Furthermore, "health-related reasons" and "concerns about side effects or past experience of side effects" accounted for 89% of the reasons for vaccine avoidance among individuals with depression. Therefore, it is important to provide tailored information and develop programs to increase awareness and promote COVID-19 vaccine uptake among these individuals.
