The Role of Personality in Vaccination Attitudes: A Replication and Extension.
Article in International journal of psychology : Journal international de psychologie, 2026. 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
This study is a replication and extension of previous research which demonstrated that individuals who identified as Vaxxers and Anti-vaxxers during the COVID-19 pandemic differ in several personality traits. We aimed to further explore personality trait differences between vaccine supporters and opponents. Our study recruited 219 individuals via mTurk who either strongly supported or strongly opposed being vaccinated for COVID-19. Participants completed measures of HEXACO traits honesty-humility and conscientiousness, locus of control, desirability of control, intolerance of uncertainty, generic conspiracy beliefs, and the Dark Triad. Significant differences were found between the groups on measures of generic conspiracy beliefs and intolerance of uncertainty, in the expected directions. These results suggest that vaccine supporters and opponents differ in key personality traits, highlighting the importance of psychological factors in shaping vaccination attitudes. Examining these factors can guide and inform public health interventions and contribute to greater success in vaccination efforts.
