1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveWe assessed healthcare provider recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination, disparities across sociodemographic factors, and associations with health care coverage, social norms, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, and Fox News preference.

methodsWe utilized random sample survey data of Arkansas residents (N = 2201) collected in October 2022 to identify adults with a personal provider who make up the analytical sample of this study (n = 1804).

resultsOver a third (37.2 %; n = 607) of the weighted sample did not receive a recommendation. Adjusted odds of receiving a recommendation were positively associated with health care coverage (aOR=1.66; 95 % CI [1.05, 2.64]) and negatively associated with perceiving "very few" (aOR=0.48; 95 % CI [0.33, 0.72]) or "some but not many" (aOR=0.57; 95 % CI [0.41, 0.80]) rather than "nearly all" people close to them to be vaccinated. Adjusted odds of receiving a recommendation were negatively associated with being very hesitant (vs. not at all hesitant) (aOR=0.65; 95 % CI [0.47, 0.88]).

conclusionProvider recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination were not provided for a large portion of Arkansas adults, were inconsistently provided across sociodemographic groups, and were associated with health care coverage, social norms, and vaccine hesitancy. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Intervening on disparities in COVID-19 vaccination may require addressing disparities in provider recommendations.
