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

purposeThis study explored factors that influence coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination intentions during pregnancy and examined the moderating effect of perceived behavioral control based on the revised Theory of Planned Behavior.

methodsThis cross-sectional online survey recruited 227 Korean pregnant women from an online community. Data were collected from December 2021 to January 2022 and analyzed using independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. The PROCESS macro (model 1) and simple slope analysis were used to investigate the moderating effect of perceived behavior control.

resultsAttitudes (β=.44, p<.001) and subjective norms (β=.36, p<.001) were identified as factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination intentions during pregnancy. In the final regression model, the total explanatory power of the variables was 44% (F=90.47, p<.001). The moderating effect of perceived behavioral control in the relationship between attitudes and vaccination intention was not statistically significant (B=0.07, p=.382). However, it showed a significant moderating effect in the relationship between subjective norms and vaccination intentions (B=0.06, p=.046). For simple slope analysis, perceived behavioral control was classified into three levels (low, moderate, and high), and the effect of subjective norms on vaccination intention was analyzed. Pregnant women with a high level of perceived behavioral control showed the strongest relationship (b=0.45, p<.001), indicating a moderating effect of perceived behavioral control.

conclusionTo increase vaccination intention among pregnant women, it is imperative to implement programs that focus on improving pregnant women's attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control toward vaccination, with particular attention to those with low perceived behavioral control.
