1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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/

objectivesThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends some vaccinations using shared clinical decision-making (SCDM). SCDM recommendations are made when not every individual within a given age or risk group would benefit from vaccination, requiring collaborative discussions between patients and providers to assess risks and benefits. Pharmacists play a key role in implementing this recommendation and have frequent opportunities to engage with patients who may be eligible for SCDM-based vaccines. Because SCDM requires provider discussions to assess each patient's eligibility for the vaccines under SCDM, trust may play a central role in the process. Trust has been suggested to affect patient's participation in their care and their decision making preferences; however, the nature of this relationship in the context of SCDM vaccines and willingness to engage with pharmacists has yet to be investigated. As the CDC continues to expand the SCDM vaccine category, there is need to assess these. This study aimed to examine relationships between patient characteristics, trust in pharmacists, willingness to engage in SCDM, and vaccination decision control preference.

methodsUsing quota sampling, cross-sectional data were collected from Alabama residents aged 18+ between February and March 2024 via a validated online questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association between trust, patient characteristics and willingness. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the direct and indirect relationships between trust, willingness and vaccination decision control preference. Statistical significance was set at

resultsA substantial portion (45.8%) of participants were unaware that certain vaccinations were based on SCDM. Multivariable logistic regression showed that race (Black vs. White,

conclusionsEducational interventions are recommended to improve awareness and knowledge of SCDM vaccines among patients. Given their trusted role, pharmacists should actively build and maintain trust with patients, as this may help foster collaborative environments for discussion, encourage patient engagement in SCDM, and support more informed vaccination choices.
