Predictors of COVID-19 vaccination status: a nationwide linkage study in Czechia.
Article in Journal of public health (Oxford, England), 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
objectivesThe evidence on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine uptake in Central and Eastern Europe remains sparse. We examined predictors of COVID-19 vaccination status in Czechia, using linkage of multiple routine nationwide datasets on objective measures of both vaccination and its predictors.
methodsWe used linked administrative data on 6 398 768 individuals aged 26 and older alive on 31 December 2023. Individual-level data were linked across national registries from the Infectious Diseases Information System, National Health Information System, the National Registry of Reimbursed Health Services, and the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.
resultsThe prevalence of unvaccinated status was 22.4%; after multivariable adjustment it was associated with all examined characteristics (age, sex, comorbidity index, registration with a general practitioner (GP), socioeconomic status, unemployment, and district of residence). The prevalence of unvaccinated status among individuals defined by the lowest quintile of income receiving social benefits was 42.1%, and the multivariable adjusted odds ratio (OR) was 3.91 (95% CI 3.87-3.96) compared to the highest quintile; the adjusted OR among unemployed vs. employed subjects was 1.52 (95% CI 1.51-1.53). Higher morbidity index and being registered with a GP were associated with lower odds of unvaccinated status.
conclusionsThese results suggest substantial socioeconomic inequalities in objectively recorded vaccination status.
