Parental doubts regarding childhood vaccinations after the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study from Poland.
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.
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: Vaccinations are one of the most effective methods of preventing infectious diseases. Data published in recent years indicate a decline in routine childhood vaccination rates. Vaccine hesitancy is an increasingly serious problem, recognized as one of the 10 most significant threats to global health. Object: This study aims to identify the causes of parental hesitancy regarding childhood immunizations after the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We conducted 33 in-depth interviews with parents who were hesitant to vaccinate their children. We analyzed the data using qualitative content analysis. Results: The main themes identified included concerns about adverse events following immunization, unsatisfactory communication with healthcare providers, distrust in the recommended vaccination schedule, individual risk assessment, conspiracy theories/anti-system sentiments, and organizational/financial barriers. Conclusion: The leading causes of vaccine hesitancy were fear of adverse events following immunization and unsatisfactory communication with healthcare professionals. These findings underscore the urgent need for improved training in communication, empathy, and negotiation skills among healthcare providers, along with the delivery of consistent, evidence-based vaccine information across all levels of care.
