Determinants of Influenza Vaccine Uptake Among Rural Populations in a Southeastern U.S. State.
Article in Vaccines, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 AND
objectivesInfluenza is a significant global healthcare problem. Despite the availability of influenza vaccines, vaccination rates remain low, particularly among rural populations. This study aims to investigate the impact of trust and demographic factors on influenza vaccination status among rural populations.
methodsCross-sectional data were collected as a subgroup analysis of rural populations within a parent study assessing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination uptake among residents in the state of Alabama, U.S.A. Participants were at least 18 years old and recruited from a Qualtrics panel. Rurality (non-metro) was determined using the United States Rural-urban Commuting Area (RUCA) Codes of 4-10. Data were analyzed using a weighted sample to adjust for differences in sex and race distributions.
resultsA little over one-third (37.8%) of the participants reported having received influenza vaccine in the 2023-2024 flu season. Less than half (48.4%) reported they previously received COVID-19 vaccines, and a greater percentage (54.5%) of them had a high understanding of health information. The multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that prior COVID-19 vaccination, political affiliation, household income and trust in doctors' communication competency were significantly associated (
conclusionsImproving influenza vaccine uptake in underserved rural communities requires strengthening trust in healthcare providers, addressing access barriers and enhancing communication strategies that reflect sociopolitical influences on vaccination behavior.
