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

Vaccine hesitancy poses a significant challenge to worldwide public health and has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to heightened polarization and the spread of misinformation. Addressing vaccine hesitancy requires multifaceted strategies in which healthcare professionals (HCPs) play a critical role. Nonetheless, HCPs may also be hesitant toward vaccination. The 31-item original Pro-VC-Be tool, designed to measure the psychosocial determinants of vaccine attitudes in HCPs, was first validated in France, French-speaking Belgian regions, and Quebec (Canada). The validity of a short-form version was evaluated and found to be comparable to that of the long-form. Given differing vaccination recommendations and the changing pandemic context, assessing the tool's stability among diverse Canadian HCPs is crucial. Relying on the original short version of the Pro-VC-Be tool, a cross-sectional online survey was conducted among various Canadian HCPs (
