COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among non-communicable disease patients in Haiti.
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/objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to challenge global health, with individuals suffering from cardiometabolic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes at increased risk of severe complications. While vaccination is a key preventive measure, acceptance varies due to factors including safety concerns and cultural beliefs. This study assesses COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy, along with knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to COVID-19 among non-communicable disease (NCD) patients in rural central Haiti. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from September 2021 to January 2022 at the outpatient NCD clinic of Hopital Universitaire de Mirebalais. A total of 229 NCD patients were surveyed to evaluate vaccine acceptance, hesitancy, and KAP regarding COVID-19. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared tests, T-tests, and logistic regression. Results: Participants' average age was 56.2 years, with 75.1% being female. Vaccine acceptance was reported by 34% of unvaccinated individuals, with significant hesitancy among those favoring traditional medicine. Despite high awareness of COVID-19 (99.6%), accurate knowledge of symptoms and preventive measures was limited. Conclusion: Targeted interventions addressing vaccine hesitancy among people with non-communicable diseases in rural Haiti are crucial. Culturally sensitive education delivered through community health workers could improve vaccine uptake in this high-risk population.
