Factors influencing adolescents' decision-making about COVID-19 vaccination: a systematic review with qualitative synthesis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Introduction: Attitudes towards vaccination are influenced by a broad range of factors, yet little is known about the drivers shaping adolescents' vaccination beliefs. The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore the factors influencing adolescents' individual decision-making towards COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Medline, Web of Science, Sociological Abstracts, and Publicly Available Content Database. Studies on attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of adolescents regarding COVID-19 vaccines were included. The JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist was used for quality assessment, followed by thematic synthesis of the included studies. Results: In total, 13 studies were included, revealing 5 key themes: (1) Limited vaccine literacy influences adolescents' attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines; (2) Family, peers, and community strongly influence adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine decision-making; (3) Different levels of trust in vaccine providers and governments influence adolescents' attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines; (4) Desire to go back to normality influences adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine attitudes towards vaccine acceptancy; (5) Autonomy influences adolescents' COVID-19 vaccine decision-making. Discussion: The review findings suggest that vaccine acceptance among adolescents could be improved through tailored and accessible vaccine literacy messaging, addressing structural mistrust, and empowering adolescents to make autonomous health decisions that take into account diverse contexts and populations.
