Parental attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to pediatric COVID-19 vaccination.
Article in Vaccine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo assess parental attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to pediatric COVID-19 vaccination.
methodsAn online, national survey of 2005 U.S. parents aged 18 and older was conducted during August 17-25, 2023. Parental attitudes and beliefs about pediatric COVID-19 vaccination, receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination recommendation for their child, and reasons for not getting their child vaccinated against COVID-19 were assessed. Factors associated with child's COVID-19 vaccination were also assessed.
resultsLess than half (46.1 %) of responding parents strongly or somewhat agreed that COVID-19 vaccine is generally safe for children; agreement was higher among parents of 12-17-year-olds (54.2 %) vs. 0-4-year-olds (35.4 %), children with private (52.8 %) vs. Medicaid/CHIP health insurance (41.0 %), and those living in urban (54.2 %) vs. rural areas (29.8 %) (p-values<0.0001). Approximately 60 % of parents reported that their child's health care provider (HCP) recommended COVID-19 vaccination for their child, with higher proportions reporting a recommendation among those with 12-17-year-olds (73.1 %) vs. 0-4-year-olds (43.1 %) (p-value<0.0001), children with private (65.6 %) vs. Medicaid/CHIP health insurance (58.2 %) (p-value = 0.0013), and those living in urban (67.3 %) vs. rural areas (51.6 %) (p-value<0.0001). The top three reported reasons for not getting their child vaccinated against COVID-19 were 1) worry about serious/unknown long-term health problems from the vaccine (52.8 %), 2) a belief that COVID-19 vaccination is not effective at preventing COVID-19 (36.3 %), and 3) child/family has already had COVID-19 (19.3 %). Parents who had received COVID-19 vaccine themselves were more likely to vaccinate their child against COVID-19 (received bivalent vaccine dose: OR = 25.8 [15.9, 41.7]; received at least one dose, but not bivalent vaccine dose: OR = 11.1 [6.8, 18.2]).
conclusionsParental concerns around serious/unknown long-term health problems related to COVID-19 vaccination were observed. In addition, a significant proportion of parents reported not having received a COVID-19 vaccination recommendation. Addressing parents' concerns regarding vaccine safety remains important, especially in rural areas.
