The Association between Message Framing and Intention to Vaccinate Predictive of Hepatitis A Vaccine Uptake.
Trial report in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
As ongoing, sporadic outbreaks of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infections present public health challenges, it is critical to understand public perceptions about HAV, especially regarding vaccination. This study examines whether message framing changes the intention to vaccinate against HAV and self-reported vaccine behavior. Using a randomized controlled trial (N = 472) in February 2019 via Amazon Mechanical Turk, participants were randomized to one of four HAV vaccination message groups or a no-message control group. The message groups varied in their emphasis on the nature of outcomes (gain versus loss) and for whom (individual versus collective). The message frames were compared by intention to vaccinate, differences in message characteristics, and behavioral determinants. There was no difference in intention to vaccinate between gain- versus loss-framed messages (MD = 0.1, 95% CI = -0.1, 0.3) and individual- versus collective-framed messages (MD = 0.1, 95% CI = -0.1, 0.3). The intention to vaccinate against HAV in the no-message control group was very similar to that in the message groups. However, gain-framed messages were rated more positively in valence than loss-framed messages (MD = -0.5, 95% CI = -0.7, -0.3), which may be helpful for cultivating a positive public perception of HAV vaccination. The study also highlights the importance of comparing message frames to a no-message control in designing health communication messaging promoting HAV vaccination.
