Assessing vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers in Brazil: the influence of vaccine status and professional experience.
Article in Jornal de pediatria. 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
objectiveAssess the occurrence of vaccine hesitancy among pediatricians and their patients and identify potential predictors to mitigate hesitancy among them.
methodsThe study is a cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire sent to pediatricians affiliated with the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis, correspondence analysis, and generalized linear mixed models.
resultsA total of 982 respondents, with a majority being females (77.4%), participated in the research. Among them, the proportion of pediatricians with complete vaccine status was 41.14%, while 90.6% had undergone medical residency. Furthermore, 9.3% worked in public healthcare settings, 30.4% in private settings, and 60.3% in mixed healthcare settings. The analysis revealed a significant association between vaccine status and pediatricians' misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines, with those having complete vaccine status showing lower misconceptions (mean difference of -0.15, p = 0.010). Moreover, pediatricians with medical residency experience exhibited fewer misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines (mean difference of -0.33, p = 0.002). Additionally, correspondence analysis unveiled the presence of two distinct profiles among pediatricians, showcasing variations in vaccine education, professional experience, and vaccine confidence perceptions.
conclusionThe study highlights the influence of vaccine status and medical residency experience on pediatricians' attitudes and misconceptions about vaccines, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions to promote vaccine confidence and combat hesitancy within the healthcare provider community.
