Determinants of high vaccine confidence and uptake among the Australian public: insights from a cross-sectional study.
Article 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 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: In 2021, Australia launched a national COVID-19 vaccine rollout strategy, but encountered setbacks that resulted in negative press and media controversy. This study aimed to confirm factors influencing vaccine confidence and uptake in Australian adults and validate the use of a Vaccine Confidence Scale. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 15 to 21 September 2021, coinciding with the expansion of COVID-19 BNT162b2 vaccine eligibility to all adults in Australia. A voluntary online survey assessed vaccine confidence and influencing factors among adults (≥18 years of age). Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of high vaccination confidence (score >30) and uptake using odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals to measure effect size. Results: Among 471 respondents, vaccine confidence (mean score 20/40) and uptake (29.7%) was low. Those who used government websites (OR 6.35; Conclusion: Greater emphasis should be placed on raising awareness of trusted sources for vaccine information, and immunization programs should consider incorporating vaccine confidence tools to enhance communication strategies and encourage vaccine uptake.
