1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination status and psychiatric symptoms, illness perceptions, avoidance behaviors, and familial vaccination patterns in adolescents referred to a child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included adolescents (n=168) aged 12-18 years. Participants were categorized as vaccinated (n=74, 44%) or unvaccinated (n=94, 56%). Data were collected using validated instruments, including the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, Clinical Global Impression-Severity, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire-Parent version, and several scales evaluating COVID-19 perceptions, control beliefs, avoidance attitudes, and vaccine attitudes. Mann-Whitney U and χ Results: Vaccinated adolescents were significantly older, more likely female, and more frequently had vaccinated siblings and mothers (p<0.05). They reported higher behavioral avoidance and more positive attitudes toward vaccination, while displaying lower hyperactivity/inattention symptoms (p<0.05). Logistic regression revealed that female gender (odds ratio [OR], 5.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67-15.64), older age (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.38-2.40), sibling vaccination (OR, 4.53; 95% CI, 1.55-13.25), and increased peer problems (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.02-1.93) significantly predicted vaccination status (p<0.05). Conclusion: In psychiatrically referred adolescents, COVID-19 vaccination is associated with demographic, familial, and psychological variables. Positive vaccine attitudes, behavioral avoidance, and family modeling increase the likelihood of vaccination, whereas hyperactivity/inattention symptoms may reduce it.
