COVID-19 vaccine uptake and associated factors among high school students in Lemi Kura Sub-City, Addis Ababa, 2022.
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. 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
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a major global health challenge, mostly affecting developing countries such as Ethiopia, which is facing low COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. This study aimed to assess the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine and its associated factors among high school students in Lemi Kura Sub-City, Addis Ababa. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public high schools. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from randomly selected high school students. We used Epi Info and SPSS for data entry and analysis. Descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination. Results: Of the 802 participants (95% response rate), 46.2% were vaccinated. A total of 445 students (55.5%) had a positive attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine, and 319 students (39.8%) had good knowledge about it. In addition, 625 students (78%) had undergone COVID-19 testing, and 286 students (35.7%) reported a history of infection. Factors significantly associated with vaccine uptake were good knowledge (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI: 1.4-3.1), positive attitude (AOR = 14.4, 95%CI: 9.5-22), prior testing (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI: 1.2-3.7), and absence of exposure to negative information (AOR = 2.26, 95%CI: 1.3-3.9). Conclusion: The overall COVID-19 vaccine uptake was low. Knowledge, attitude, prior COVID-19 testing, and exposure to misinformation significantly influenced vaccine uptake among high school students. Improving awareness among the target population is essential to enhancing vaccination rates.
