Validation and psychometric evaluation of the Arabic Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 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
Vaccine hesitancy is one of the top ten global health threats, with a culturally adapted, validated tool being essential for accurately measuring it to guide public health interventions. Although translations of the Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (aVHS) to local languages and their validation have occurred in several contexts, no validated Arabic version exists for the Middle East population. This, however, impedes the process of generating locally and regionally reflective data for targeted interventions and evaluation of vaccine outreach efforts. To translate and validate the Adult Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (aVHS) for Arabic-speaking adults. This cross-sectional study followed a five-phase process: translation, expert review, preliminary testing, pilot testing, and validation with psychometric analysis. Translation and back translation were conducted then reviewed by an expert committee. The approved version of the Arabic aVHS (Ar-aVHS) was tested against the English version (E-aVHS) on 50 participants and demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Ar-aVHS Cronbach's α = 0.8699). The overall correlation between Arabic and English scale scores was strong (Spearman's rho = 0.8418,
