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

Despite the significant success of vaccinations, increasing vaccine hesitancy poses a threat to public health, making effective vaccination communication essential. Both personalized, needs-based conversations between healthcare providers and patients and large-scale, standardized vaccination campaigns through traditional media are important tools for addressing patients' concerns, correcting misinformation, and conveying positive arguments for the benefits of vaccination. This article describes innovative digital solutions for vaccination communication that combine the strengths of these two approaches, potentially becoming vital components of vaccination communication in an increasingly digital society. We focus on four digital solutions: social media, smartphone apps, chatbots, and immersive technologies (particularly virtual reality). We describe the features of these media and technologies, potential target groups for their application, selected scientific evidence regarding their effectiveness in vaccination communication, and potential research gaps and opportunities. Finally, we offer suggestions for possible application areas of these digital solutions in vaccination communication. While research on the use of innovative digital solutions in vaccination communication is still in its early stages, we see great potential for integrating these technologies as complementary measures into comprehensive vaccination communication strategies to enhance the effectiveness of future vaccination campaigns and promote global health.
