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
objectiveThe COVID-19 vaccine is vital for protecting pregnant women and their babies, yet many foreign-born women face unique challenges in vaccine uptake. This study explores COVID-19-related fears and vaccine acceptance among from the Northern Triangle countries-El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in the United States (U.S.).
methodsThis cross-sectional study aimed to identify factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination among foreign-born pregnant women from Central America, specifically El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, living in the U.S.
resultsThe study included 93 women (mean gestation: 23.3 weeks), most of whom had lived in the U.S. for at least 10 years and had low acculturation. Over two-thirds (66.7%) were fully vaccinated. Key factors driving vaccine acceptance included healthcare access, community health initiatives, and trusted provider recommendations. Cultural values emphasizing family protection and a heightened sense of vulnerability to COVID-19 also contributed to higher vaccination rates. However, 33.3% expressed hesitancy, particularly due to distrust in government, fear of needles, and concerns about the vaccine's rapid development, with Guatemalan participants showing the highest hesitancy.
conclusionsFindings underscore the critical role of healthcare providers in vaccination decisions, and tailored communication strategies addressing cultural and emotional factors are essential to improving vaccine uptake, particularly in immigrant communities.
