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

Vaccination during pregnancy is crucial due to increased maternal vulnerability to infectious diseases. However, uptake of recommended vaccines (influenza, pertussis, COVID-19) remains suboptimal, particularly among disadvantaged groups. This qualitative study explored healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perspectives, selected purposively, on factors influencing maternal vaccination in London. Data from a workshop transcript and an online quality improvement survey involving 15 GPs, two midwives, two obstetricians and one pharmacist were thematically analysed. HCPs highlighted that pregnant women perceive the benefits of pertussis vaccination more positively than other vaccines. Clear, consistent communication and integrating vaccinations into routine antenatal care were identified as essential for improving accessibility and convenience. The critical role of midwives influencing vaccination decisions was emphasised. While recognising the potential of AI-based technologies to disseminate vaccine information, concerns were raised about trust, digital literacy and information quality, highlighting the need for tailored, reliable strategies to boost maternal vaccination rates and improve health outcomes.
