Trust in Information Sources and COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake.
Article in Public health challenges, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the important role of trust in information sources in shaping vaccine uptake behavior. This study aimed to examine the relationship between trust in various information sources and COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Methods: Data were analyzed from the April 2021 wave of the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS). A total of 9067 US adults were included. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess associations between seven different information sources, trust, and vaccine uptake, adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Results: Trust in personal doctors/healthcare providers was the strongest predictor of COVID-19 vaccine uptake (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.53, Conclusion: Trust in healthcare professionals significantly influences COVID-19 vaccine uptake, whereas trust in non-healthcare sources plays a more limited role. Religious leaders' and family/friends' influence was minimal. Building and maintaining trust in healthcare providers is crucial for promoting vaccine acceptance, particularly amid widespread misinformation and political polarization. Public health efforts should prioritize improving healthcare provider-patient communication, utilizing trusted healthcare figures as role models, and implementing culturally tailored interventions to address hesitancy among marginalized groups.
