COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Latinx individuals in North Texas: Understandings from a community study.
Article in Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Despite the advent of effective COVID-19 vaccines, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy persists in the United States. Some minoritized populations, including Latinx individuals, experience elevated risk for COVID-19 due to numerous social and economic factors, but vaccination rates in this population are lower than white non-Latinx individuals. Further, Latinx individuals experiencing intersecting forms of social marginalization - such as identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+), having a precarious immigration status, or being capable of pregnancy - may encounter compounded barriers to COVID-19 vaccination. To examine why COVID-19 vaccination disparities persist among Latinx people, we surveyed 135 Latinx individuals in North Texas to assess their COVID-19 vaccination status, reasons for vaccine hesitancy, and vaccine intentions. We also examined the correlation between vaccine hesitancy and demographic factors, as well as trust in information sources regarding COVID-19. Most participants (77%) received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine but over 21% expressed vaccine hesitancy. Trust in government institutions emerged as a significant factor influencing vaccine hesitancy. Among participants with children, both parental vaccination status and vaccine hesitancy significantly shaped decisions about vaccinating children for COVID-19. Vaccinated individuals also expressed greater support for vaccination mandates for engaging in public spaces, such as attending concerts or sporting events, and working outside the home, than unvaccinated individuals. Findings from our study offer a deeper understanding of the sociocultural and informational determinants of vaccine uptake, underscoring the need for targeted public health strategies to enhance vaccination rates among Latinx populations.
