Anti-vaccination of Turkish parents in forums: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundEpidemics of preventable diseases are re-emerging in many parts of the world with the increasing anti-vaccine views and vaccine hesitancy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the themes and narratives shared by vaccine-hesitant and anti-vaccine parents on online platforms.
methodsA descriptive qualitative approach was used. An online search engine, Google, was used to perform a search utilizing the terms ‘anti-vaccine’ and ‘vaccine hesitancy’ between 2010 and 2021. As a result of the search, 244 posts were identified and 37 shares were included in the study as a result of the evaluation in terms of suitability. Data were analyzed using content analysis.
resultsQualitative analysis revealed six themes: (1) mood, (2) lack of trust in the healthcare industry and scientists, (3) distrust of vaccines, (4) communication and media, (5) faith/religious approach, and (6) community health. It was determined that people who are anti-vaccine share their negative experiences and parents who are undecided about getting vaccinated also share to exchange ideas.
conclusionsIn the messages written by the parents, they experienced fear and anxiety, and they distrusted the health sector, scientists and vaccines. They obtained anti-vaccine information mostly through social media and internet-based communication resources.
