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

Although vaccination is a well-recognized illness prevention strategy in medicine, vaccine uptake remains inconsistent in racialized and Indigenous communities in North America. Given that vaccination decisions in children are largely mediated by their parents' beliefs and values, this study aimed to examine vaccination rates and associated factors among parents of children aged 0-12 years from various racial groups in Canada. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023, involving a nationally representative sample of 2528 parents of children aged 0-12 years across Canada (57.52% women). Vaccine uptake prevalence rate was 86.39% among the participants. We observed significant differences in vaccination prevalence for racialized parents, χ
