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

Background: Vaccination attitudes and uptake are shaped by sociodemographic context, geography, and health status. How comorbidities and prior infection experiences interact with place of residence to influence vaccine decision-making remains insufficiently characterized in Polish primary care settings. Objective: To compare vaccination attitudes, self-reported adverse events following immunisation (AEFI), and determinants of vaccination across large-city, small-city, and rural primary care populations in Poland, with particular attention to comorbidities and prior infectious disease experiences. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using questionnaire data linked to primary care records in three primary healthcare centres representing a large city, a small-to-medium city, and a rural setting. Group differences were assessed with contingency tables and Pearson's chi-square tests (two-sided alpha 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression modeled uptake of influenza, COVID-19, and pertussis vaccination using comorbid respiratory, circulatory, and metabolic conditions and prior infection history as predictors. Results: Vaccination coverage differed markedly by setting ( Conclusion: Vaccination attitudes, uptake, and self-reported AEFIs differ substantially between urban and rural primary care settings in Poland. Respiratory comorbidity and prior infection experiences consistently predict vaccine uptake, underscoring the need for geographically tailored communication strategies and risk framing that reflects local context and chronic disease burden.
