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
Objectives: Pregnant individuals face increased COVID-19 symptom severity, yet vaccination rates remain low. The study aimed to identify strategies for improving vaccine adherence by examining pregnant individuals' attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine and their news consumption habits. Case presentation: A total of 58 pregnant and postpartum individuals were surveyed in the Obstetrics & Gynecology clinic at an urban academic medical center in Newark, NJ from June to December 2023. The 88-item survey assessed sociodemographic characteristics, vaccination status, pandemic-related risk perception, resource accessibility, and news sources. Sixty-six percent of participants reported receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccinated individuals were more likely to agree with pro-vaccine statements. Many respondents, regardless of vaccination status, selected "neither agree nor disagree" for anti-vaccine claims including those related to infertility or miscarriage. Participants who preferred traditional news sources (e.g. television broadcasts) were more likely to support pro-vaccine statements, while social media users expressed greater uncertainty. Conclusions: Concerns about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine were key in hesitancy among pregnant individuals, with social media contributing to this hesitancy. Our study highlights the need for holistic and effective communication from healthcare providers, evidence-based information across media platforms, and increased vaccine accessibility to improve vaccine adherence.
