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

backgroundParents of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) usually hesitate to vaccinate their children, yet limited data on factors influencing parents' willingness to vaccinate their children are available. Our study aimed to reveal parents' willingness to immunize their children with the Expanded Programme on Immunization Vaccines and identify determinants influencing parents' willingness.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey using a stratified sampling approach in Wuxi, China. Description methods were used to describe guardians' willingness to vaccinate their children, and logistic regression analysis was employed to examine the influencing factors of parents' willingness.

resultsA total of 904 parents/guardians were collected; 864 (95.58%) were willing to immunize their children. Univariate analysis revealed that parents' knowledge of vaccines and their awareness of vaccination assessment clinics were factors that influenced vaccination willingness. The multivariate logistic regression results indicated that parental education level and awareness of vaccination assessment clinics were significant predictors of parents' willingness to vaccinate their children.

conclusionHigher parental knowledge and use of vaccination consultation clinic services are associated with greater willingness to vaccinate among parents of children with special health care needs.
