Improving COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Ethnic Minority Communities in Wales: A Community-Based Approach.
Review in Immunology and cell biology, 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
During the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation and vaccine hesitancy disproportionately affected ethnic minority communities across the United Kingdom, including in Wales. Muslim Doctors Cymru (MDC), a grassroots coalition of Muslim healthcare professionals, played a pivotal role in countering this challenge. This paper describes the strategies and impact of MDC's work in addressing health misinformation, building trust, and promoting vaccine uptake among ethnic minority communities in Wales. Through culturally sensitive engagement, multilingual public health messaging, and close collaboration with mosques, community leaders, and local media, MDC delivered targeted outreach that bridged gaps between public health authorities and underserved populations. This case study draws on a grassroots-efforts approach to tackling vaccine inequity using community-based approaches. Findings highlight the importance of culturally competent healthcare communication and the value of community-led initiatives in improving public health outcomes during crises. MDC's model offers a replicable framework for addressing health inequalities and misinformation in diverse populations.
