Developing a practical tool for measuring parental vaccine hesitancy: A people-centered validation approach in Dutch.

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
Vaccine hesitancy (VH) about routine childhood vaccinations drives falling vaccine uptake rates. This is a major public health challenge and therefore important to monitor uniformly. The challenge is that different methods are used to measure VH and that, in non-English language, there may not be an unequivocal translation of VH terminology. We aimed to develop and validate a method to assess VH in a simple and self-reported manner, with a mixed-methods study using a people-centered approach with a diverse group of parents and illustrated in Dutch. In the quantitative part, parents were asked to rate experienced vaccine hesitancy on a 10-point Likert scale, using five differently worded Dutch translations for VH. We analyzed internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha and correlation with the short parental attitudes about childhood vaccination (PACV-5) scale. A total of 532 parents participated in the survey. We found that the five worded alternatives measured the same construct, indicated by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.95. The wording resembling 'doubt' showed highest correlation with the PACV-5 score (coefficient -0.525,
